I recently purchased a GIGABYTE GA-78LMT Micro ATX AMD Motherboard. I'm getting an Intel core i5-6600K Skylake. Pcpartpicker.com says that my processor will fit. I'm confused because my CPU has a LGA 1151 socket. The motherboard has an AM3+ socket. Would this fit? Thank you.

Link the build. (Use the Perma link in the middle of the page) PC Part is pretty solid when it comes to compatibility issues. Suztera is right. It's not going to work at all. Return the motherboard.
