Will a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 be compatible with a AMD FX-8150?

I am planning my new build and been really thinking about the compatiblyity, will the motherboard work with it?

It does support it however I wouldn't recommend that motherboard for that type of CPU if you want a decent motherboard for that CPU I would go for the Asus M5A97 series however if you want to keep at a low price range then choose the asrock 970 pro 3 or above.
I can give you a list of components on part picker but you would have to give me a budget and your pc usage. Hope this info helps!

From the gigabyte website you may know they said they are compatible, but the PC can run stable or not that is other story because that MB has only 4+1 power phase (VRM) that is not good for the fx 8 series cpu even you don't OC. Here the link for most MB VRM info. https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=0

You need get the MB has at least 4+2 or high VRM plus with heatsinked on it, like crispinsaro recommend asus m5a97, or GA-970A-UD3P, etc. You can the right MB from the link I add. Otherwise get the fx6300 with the GA-78LMT-USB3.

Yeah, my wife's PC is running that combination perfectly. I just wish it had UEFI. I like the build quality of the board and she is not a hardcore gamer(plays games like Plants VS Zombies and Angry Birds) and so, memory speeds aren't important to her. I built myself a mini-ITX FM3+ build; an A10 7850k, R9-280X, Gigabyte F2A88X...and the build quality of the board she has is every bit as solid/ good as my ITX board, but it doesn't support the 2400mhz memory that my board and CPU does. If you plan on gaming, the FX8150 has a 1866mhz memory controller, so get a board that matches that speed natively, preferably.
