Can some one help me?

Help please!

This is my first time building a gaming pc and so i got a friend to help me get some parts for my build, i used Pcpartpicker to plan my gaming pc build and he told me to use the MSI 970 Gaming ATX Am3+ Mother board for my build but it says there was an incompatibility issue, do i need to change my motherboard or cpu?!

Here is my build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/P3xRpg could someone also tell how well this build will run for games like csgo battlefield etc?! if possible

Since the FX-8350 (125W) is listed in the table and at the top, the BIOS revision is shown as M.0 that means there is a version of the BIOS that supports the 8350. THEN you look at this page -- https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/970-GAMING.html#down-bios which shows that the M.0 BIOS was released in 2014.
