Yes. Also, if you're running an A10-7850k, consider not upgrading. The 7850k's per-core, clock cycle performance is better than anything in the FX series. If you don't have that though, I wouldn't recommend upgrading to the FX series. Try for an Intel series CPU instead. It has a much better upgrade path and you might as well since you're getting a new motherboard and CPU. If you have a Microcenter in your area, you can score a $240 i5-4690k for $200. If you're spending less, go for an i3-4150 ($130) or an i3-4130 ($125) instead, both of which should be cheaper than the aforementioned prices at microcenter. It still beats an FX-6300 in most games and will allow you that much sweeter upgrade path.
