Will my Phenom x4 9550, fit and work with a mother board that says it accepts LGA 1150? (hardware is very much not my thing). I already have that processor, but I want the motherboard, and it says it takes LGA 1150. I'm also running windows 7 professional 64 bit

No,LGA 1150 boards are for 4th gen i3,i5,i7 processors.Phenom X4 9550 has Socket AM2+ Socket so you need AM2+ Board :D

That's again Intel Chipset

You need this board

No, I apologize. What I meant to ask in my follow up question is, ... is it possible to buy a quadcore processor FOR the motherboard I am wanting to buy, which is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13-157-296

Another words, I want to buy that mother board, but I will need to buy a processor, that is quad-core. So can I get a quad core processor for around $100 for that motherboard in my link? (no use the processor I own now)
 
Why do you want that motherboard in particular? You could be better off with a H or B series.

For just over $100 you could get this:

Although it claims there to be a dual core, it has 2 physical cores and a further 2 virtual ones (hyperthreading).

Because for the work I'm doing, the system check needs to show quad core, and also I need full ATX. And the capability of the following....
1: Full ATX
2: Quad core processing
3: Video (monitor) resolution 1920x1080
4: up to at least 16 gigs ram
 


For a true quad core (and probably to have your system recognise it as one) you will need an i5 processor. They tend to be quite a lot more expensive than the i3's. They start at around $180.

You can get Dual Core in that budget if you want to stick with LGA 1155 socket board
