It is compatible but the motherboard is not ideal

Its better to use motherboards with 970 series chipsets
This one is the cheapest available

but this one

is better

Why would the 970 series be better than the 980 series?

There is no "980" series .
970, 990Xand 990FX are the current chip sets

The motherboards name is probably to hide the fact that the chipset is a 760G .
