I have a msi h97m-e35 motherboard with an 1150 socket and my question is if I can put an amd a10-7700k with fm2+ in there?
 
To find what's compatible first they have to be the same brand (AMD CPUs only fit in AMD sockets).

Then they have to have a matching socket, very few CPUs are backwards compatible to older sockets.

Then there often is a chipset requirement too, like the newer 1150 socket CPUs require a newer chipset on the motherboard.
