NO it will not work at all. You are trying to fit a socket AM2 motherboard with a socket AM3 CPU. There is no way at all that they will work together. If you are wanting to us a FX-8350 CPU you will have to get a AM3+ motherboard for that. One such as the ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131877R . That is the board I am using in both of my FX rigs a FX-8120 and a FX-8350 based rig.

Thanks for your insight. That is exactly the mistake Im trying not to make when I order these parts. I have been a lazy console gamer for far to long. I love battlefeild and want to get a better experience then what the next gen can offer along with the possibility to upgrade parts in the future. Im trying to stay around a 700 budget, but still able to play in 1080p with a good amount of fps. I have been trying to stay close to bf4 system requirements recommended list. So far it seems that I am going to be able to do that as long as I'm staying on the AMD side of things. So tell me what you think about these guts. They all got excellent reviews. And of course I am changing my earlier poor MB selection.

Sorry if I made these links more difficult then they had to be. Thank you for all of your input and tell me if all this will work together or if I am headed for disaster. Also let me know if you think this will run bf4 better then both next gen consoles. From everything I have read the new consoles are barely pushing 900p with only 16 players and smaller maps. Seems that next gen is already behind as usual.
