The am3+ processors fit that board, if you are looking for a decent am3+ processors (which honestly I'd just save up for something like ryzen, or a modern build with ddr4 ram) get the AMD FX 8350, 8 cores 8 Threads, and a clock speed of 4.0 GHZ

If you go to somewhere like newegg and look at specifications of the motherboard and look at socket types it will tell you what kind can fit in your motherboard, just look up that socket type of processor

I have the same exact motherboard, the fx 8350 wont work right due to the 125 power, go with a fx 6300.

Actually if he has v4.1(Bios F3) , v5.0(FA), or v6.0(F2) it can work with the 8350,

I have a rev 6, it will struggle running the 8 core. I would go with the fx 6300 the 8 core isn't too good due to the 225 TDP, it will make the motherboard stuggle real hard.

If you're really worried about the TDP and wattage then go with an 8300, the fx 6300 is good but almost anything you put it will will bottlneck, and you wont get a good frame rate on CPU based games, I have a 6300 in my system right now and it sucks, really bad. Get an 8300 or an 8310, booth of those hold basically the same preformance as the 8350 with less wattage

GO with the 8310 which i didn't even know it existed until this guy. The 8310 would work with the mobo and would do average in gaming. The FX 6300 is still a good 6 core CPU.
