the CPU is a fairly old model, for £11 more you can get http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1424650219&sr=8-1&keywords=amd+fx+6300#productDetails which is a lot better and you can still use that board with it, how ever the board isn't that great either, the CPU I've linked is the best one you can get as the rest draw too much power and will burn out the socket on the board

do you know of another motherboard that would be better for around the same price as the one i linked?

does it have to be micro or was that just one you picks due to the price?

OP, that CPU is pretty old and I would just personally order an AMD FX-6300 or an AMD FX-8320 off of Amazon.co.uk.
