Will an AMD FX-8350 Eight Core work on a DDR3 motherboard?

The motherboard will have a compatibility list that will tell you which CPU will work with it. DDR3 is just the type of memory (RAM) that the motherboard supports.
Yes - provided the motherboard supports the GTX 780 (most do) you can use it.
I recommend you use pcpartpicker.com and build a virtual PC and it will tell you if anything is wrong, such as if you pick a motherboard that doesn't work with your CPU, RAM, or GPU.

A motherboard is not defined by what memory it supports, it is defined by what CPU it supports.
Thus you are looking for an AMD socket AM3+ board, specifically a 970 or 990 chipset to properly support an FX-8350
With that said you dont want this platform.
First and foremost that "8-core" cpu is not an 8 core but a 4 core with bassically hyper threading like intel's i7.
Now in 2012 when this processor came out it was a good bang for buck; but while AMD was stagnent up unitl a month ago, intel had kept chugging along and now a $60 Pentium G4560 cpu can actually beat it in most games with half the cores/threads becasue the AMD is that inefficient compared to modern intel chips.
Whether you are looking at multitasking or looking at gaming there is better options then buying "new" into this 5 year old platform.
