Asus M3a78-EM Motherboard CPU upgrade

[Joeliao001]

I wanted to know if the Athlon X4 860K will fit my ASUS M3A79-EM motherboard? And if not what kind of CPU should I get that is good for gaming. I have a AMD R7 370 GPU if that helps. Also want to know if this motherboard can be used with a Intel CPU. Thanks

No the 860k is not compatible. Here is the officially cpu support list for your motherboard. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M3A78EM/HelpDesk_CPU/

I know it is not on the list, but does that mean I cannot use an Intel CPU?

Yes you cannot use an Intel cpu. Only what's on the list.
