I am so confused right now. As I can't find the right answer to my question. I am buying an AMD FX 8350 processor and want to pair it with Asus M5A97 R2.0 or Should I go down to Intel i5 4460 + Gigabyte B85M-D3H?

P.S. I don't play games.

I just want to know that the AMD + Asus combo that I mentioned is compatible?
 
Solution
AMD FX-8350 is compatible but a BIOS update may be required (needs to be BIOS version 1006 or later).
