for new low cost gaming system look at the g3258 and h97 mb if you need more power you can swap in an i3 or i5 latter.

No.. Your mother board won't work. You need to buy a new one. Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1 would work but I would personally prefer ASROCK 970 EX3.

Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1 would not work with your AMD FX-4300 processor. So go for ASROCK 970EX. Its a tested one and will cost around $60.
