So my motherboard is the A88XM-A from ASUS and it says on the box
"APU: AMD FM2+ socket for AMD A-Series / Athlon series processors"

So does that mean that a processor such as these ones would be completely compatible with my motherboard?

I was wondering because they have Series Titles like "Athlon X4", so I was wondering if the "X4" had anything to do with it not being compatible with my motherboard when it only only says "A-Series / Athlon".
Detailed answers please.

Yes, all of them are compatible with that MB, but some of them will need the newer version BIOS to run, some of them may only need old version BIOS. You can check the asus site cpu support list. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/A88XMA/HelpDesk_CPU/

SO if you have the discrete GPU, recommend to buy the Athlon X4, like 860K.
