Question Will my new CPU fit my motherboard?

[MattMoMo]

so i'm thinking of buying a AMD Ryzen 5 2600X. But will I be able to put this CPU on my M5A78L-M PLUS/usb3 motherboard?

Nope, it wont. You're going to need a B450 chipset board and DDR4-3200MHz ram to get up to speed with that processor.

It's simply not compatible. Your current ram is DDR3.
If you want a 2600x, you need a new motherboard and DDR4(3200mhz) ram to go with it.
It's not backwards compatible with your current mobo and ram.
