Apparently that motherboard came in FM2 and FM2+ socket varieties. Since you have a FM2 APU, you may have the FM2 socket. If so, you can't use the FM2+ 880K. In that case you'd have to find a X4 7xx CPU. Also which revision of that board do you have? It should be printed on the board near the expansion slots.

Update for others that may be following this thread...
The OP did indeed have a FM2+ version of that board.

Surf their website. That board is compatible with newer FM2+ CPUs. All you need is to update the Motherboard BIOS.

Alternative route I have seen other posters recommending:

Instead of buying the AMD Athlon X4 880K, you can disable the intergratedGPU (iGPU) in your APU, and overclock the APU to max.; then save for the barebones of a new system.
