NO.
That motherboard is a FM2 socket and the R3 1300X is AM4 socket those numbers must match.
If you go to the motherboard site it will show all the processors that will work with the board and what BIOS version you need to use it with that processor.

Thanks, maybe you can suggest which one to choose from the list, my current is athlon x4 860k quad core, which of those would be better ?

Their nothing worth upgrading to from what you have the 880K would only be 0.3 faster so not worth spending any money on since you can overclock yours to the same speed.
