actually your pretty much stuck with it
if you want to upgrade.. youll be buying a new board for sure (cause the best you can get for an FM1 socket is a 3870k :) )

the phenom ii build has an AM3 board
its the fx4100 build that has the AM3+
soz you don't get confused ;)

yeah pretty much that, and it will be compatible to all builds
i think the 6850 will be better for games vs the 7750/7770

Then again the 3870k might be all I need...
