No. An AM3+ cpu won't fit in a FM2+ motherboard . The motherboard manufactures website will have a list of supported cpus for that board.

Question from DoctorStrange : "Asus A58M-E compatible with AMD FX 6300"

I was planning to buy AMD FX 6300 is it good with my motherboard? if not what is the best processor for my motherboard

Full list of compatible CPUs with your motherboard: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/A58ME/HelpDesk_CPU/

And no, FX-6300 is not compatible because it requires an AM3+ motherboard whereas yours is an FM2+.

As for the best option for your motherboard, it would depend on your current system. If you have a discrete graphics card then there's the case for the x4 880k (I would favour the newer x4 845). If you don't have a discrete graphics card then the best APU would be the A10-7890K.
