Windows 10 I want to upgrade CPU but whats good for my motherboard?

Wrong socket type. You need a CPU that is AM3 not to be confused with AM3+


Processor Frequency Number of Processing Cores L3 Cache Size TDP Unlocked Multiplier Turbo Core Technology Socket
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition 3.2 GHz 6 6MB 125 W Yes Yes AM3
Link Removed 2.8 Ghz 6 6MB 125 W No Yes AM3
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4 GHz 4 6MB 125 W Yes No AM3
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2 GHz 4 6MB 125 W Yes No AM3
Link Removed 3.2 GHz 4 6MB 125 W No No AM3
Link Removed 3.0 GHz 4 6MB 95 W No No AM3

Thank you so much, . I am thinking on getting the 4 core but it has 2.8 ghz or the 6 core one with 3.4, What should you recommend me? More than 4 cores or more ghz?
 
I have the 1090T on my old desktop works well.
 
Well Hz isn't everything. More cores is typically better since it allows you to run more concurrent threads.
