Yeah. The closest thing would be a fx-8350 AM3+ socket. And even then, it's about on par with a i5-4440k, or something along those lines as I don't recall if there is a "K" version of that CPU. THERE IS a AM3+ version of that mobo if you like it to much. But this other ASUS will get the job done.

The FX-8320 is the same but has a lower clock speed. You could OC it as most of the fx line, but you'd need an aftermarket cooler, such as the CM hyper 212 evo if you are on a budget. I would go with a h-series corsair h2O cooler if you have the money. starts at 50 or 60 USD I believe.
