will the cpu fit?

Solution
It's a great AMD overclocking board with 8+2 phase power and LLC. Put an FX 6300 or 6350 in it with a good cooler and OC. In modern games will support a GTX 970 very nicely.

Unfortunately AMD hasn't released any chips that are competitive with a 4970k, if you want that level of performance you're going to need to buy a Z97 motherboard (or a Z107 motherboard and a 6700K).
