I checked the msi official website and this cpu is not listed. However I found a few other websites that say it is compatible. Should I trust that it is or better find another motherboard?

The standard answer would be that you would need a 9 series motherboard for an FX chip. However according to the offical page on MSI's own website there is support for that CPU as long as the motherboard is flashed to bios version 7641vHB. You would more than likely need an older processor to do the flashing however but if its a board and chip you already have then you have nothing to lose in trying.

DON'T put any CPU with TDP rating over 95w on this board, else the board will burn itself.

Yes, it will work. I had a very similar board, a MSI 760GM-P34 (FX), and I ran a FX-6100 on it. I would recommend a better board, though. You won't be able to overclock at all really with that board.
