What is the best CPU to pair with this motherboard?

Thanks for those who reply. 😀

Do AM3 socket CPU's also run on this board?

You can use an AM3 CPU on that motherboard, here is the list of CPU's it will work with

The best processor on that list currently is the 8 core FX-8150 at 3.6GHz native
the fastest is the 4 core FX-4170 running at 4.2GHz native
