Umm no. His board doesn't support FX.

OP, the problem you have is the line of CPU's your board supports are no longer being produced. Pretty much going to have to find one on Ebay at this point.

Yeah that's an old board at this point in the production line. I'd go for the Phenom II x4 980 Black Edition. It's got 4 cores so it'll run great, but you won't waste money on an 6-core and not use all of the cores.

The phenom II line is great for overclocking, just make sure you get an aftermarket heatsink.

You will be better off finding your chip on ebay. The fastest one is the PhII X6 1090t. Also, I gave you the compatible CPU list, from the manufacturer, PCpartpicker was unnecessary for that part. :lol:

Or better idea still - get something newer - from within the last 5 years of being new.
