Can this motherboard support this cpu

[seperoph]

Can the Asrock 880GM-LE FX support the Amd FX 8350 cpu?
I intend to buy it and a gtx 1060 for vr gaming and need to know if i can use that cpu with my current motherboard.

I'm guessing so, since the CPU support list mentions 8 Core FX cpus. Also, this website mentions the supported CPUs for the 880g chipset Here
and it mentions that particular CPU. So yes, that CPU should work.

No. The FX 8350 is a 125W TDP CPU and the Asrock 880GM-LE FX motherboard only supports up to 95W TDP CPUs (http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/880GM-LE%20FX/#CPU).

On a very important note, I would not recommend you to get any FX CPUs or AM3+ motherboards in this day and age. That platform is already end-of-life, esp. with the newly released AMD Ryzen platform and AM4 motherboards (as well as budget options using Intel CPUs on an LGA1151 platform that have better upgrade paths).

Even a dual-core 7th-gen Pentium G4560 will match (or even exceed) the performance of that 8-core FX 8350 (http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-G4560-vs-AMD-FX-8350/3892vs1489) for a much lower price, less heat/power consumption, and better future-proofing.

If you have the budget, consider getting the Ryzen 5 1600 and pair that with a B350-chipset motherboard (which permits overclocking).

If you have a tight budget, consider getting the Pentium G4560 and pair that with a B250-chipset motherboard (does not permit overclocking), but, will give you the opportunity to upgrade to a more powerful CPU (such as an i5 or i7) in the future when you have enough funds.
