Wait if you can. Sometimes you cannot, like when a system dies. If that is the case get one of the Gigabyteboards using the 800 series that they certified for AM3+.

ASRocks 890FX Deluxe 5 and 890GX Extreme 4 should be hitting the shelves. I tested them and they are great expecially with the new UEFI interface bios. The socket is AM3+ and is AM3b which has slightly larger pin holes. They both overclocked a Phenom II 975 to 4.5GHz and 4.4GHz respectably.

if you have a 955 right now it would be ridiculously stupid to upgrade

if you are just trying to get a jump on your new build, don't worry about it

the same motherboard will be cheaper later and new motherboard will have better tech
