Doesn't look like it unfortunately. You'll have to upgrade the board for FX support, and at that point it becomes a questionable decision as AM3+ is a "dead" socket with outdated features. If you want to upgrade, you're properly better of moving to FM2+ if you want to stay with AMD, or move to LGA-1150.

You should be looking at Haswell i3's minimum. Possibly even a low-end i5. They will provide much more value then a 6300 or 8350. The only case I'll recommend either of those is if you already have a board that supports them. AM3(+) is dead, its time to move on to something more modern.

About the only AMD CPU I'll recommend is the FM2+ Athlon 750K/760K if you're on a budget. Both are IGP-less versions of AMDs APUs.

I will not recommend a board based on a 2009 chipset. Period. Especially when a simple H81-based board is good enough for an i5.
