The Phenom 965 doesn’t use an AM4 socket—its socket is different. For the best CPU match, look into compatible AM4 or LGA processors. As for the GPU, a strong option would be a high-performance RTX or GTX model to pair with your system.

The Phenom II 965 BE stands out as the top AM2 CPU since it features six AM2+ cores.

I'm not sure about Amazon's claim, but it mentions an AM3 model and says my motherboard isn't compatible with AM3.

Consider checking Amazon for products. Visit AMD's site for details. Ask yourself about your motherboard.

Phemon II runs on AM2+. If that works, go with Phenom II 980 BE. The top regular AM2 model is Phenom X4 9950 BE.

Top choices might be an Athlon 64 FX or an Opteron 1356. It seems AM2+ chips work with socket AM2, but only when using HyperTransport 2.0.

Phenom I features AM2+ while Phenom II shows AM3+ predominance.

Yes, a Phenom 9950 should work well with your 300W setup.
