So I want to know if my motherboard can handle this cpu, there was something about bus speed and some crap that I didn't understand and if it can't handle it are there any other alternatives under £100.
thanks in advance
Bus speed isn't going to be a problem, the 970 chipset was meant for FX CPU's. However, that motherboard needs adequate VRM cooling, and ASRock recommends a top-down cooler design rather than a tower cooler: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Pro3%20R2.0/?cat=CPU
