I'm looking to upgrade my computer, and one of my questions is will my motherboard let me upgrade to the i3 Intel Processor?

That's an AMD chipset motherboard, so it definitely won't support an Intel cpu. The socket types are totally different - FM2 for the board, LGA1155 for that i3-2120. You could change the motherboard as well, though, as long as you get a micro-atx size.
