No that's for Haswell/Intel products only....certain motherboards have different sockets that can transfer the different architectures data accordingly.
That Mobo's socket is 1150 and the A-series has an FM 2 socket.

Thats fairly easy and can do one better a88x chipset fm2 plus board

this supports a10 apu fm2 and will allow for upgrade path to kaveri later on if you so choose do not buy just a fm2 board as this will not allow you to upgrade to a new processor later on

cheapest board i could find with fm2 plus

also just to comfirm your using fm2 whats the full name of the processor as there is a fm1 a10 so im just comfirming this will work for you.

also to get the most out of your chip a10 make sure your ram is

1866mhz lower ram speeds will hinder performance

well, this is will be a sweet combo for apu processor..
because APU graphic is depending to system ram,you'll need fastest ram to extract real performance of this integrated gpu..

well, you already have a mobo..

don't buy another mobo..

save your money to build a real gaming system..with a real gaming processor and discrete graphic card..not APU..

Yeah. Upon looking the prices I thought I'll just get the MSI Z87-G45 Gaming when I have the budget to get Intel i5. But once I have some components I need and it can run new games with my desired settings, I see no point in upgrading again until my system needs it. Well at least I have future references and got some knowledge.

Thanks Guys!
