It's a Socket 1150, so Intel only. Right now the I5-4690k is considered the best gaming CPU. However, we are seeing games already becoming more threaded so a I7-4790k would provide a bit more longevity, if it's in the budget.

It is an intel socket 1150 board that is only compatible with some intel processors. You could use a core i7-4770(k) or 4790(k). Dont buy that board unless you are going to be using the waterblock, its much more expensive than other boards of the same level due to the waterblock.

Due to the fact that it has a waterblock, and you can't tell what type of cpu goes on it, I would definitely not spend your money on that motherboard.
That kind of equipment requires a little more than base knowledge to use.
