Looking at the specs....no...the cpu is socket AM3+ and the mobo supports socket(s) FM2

If you follow the Asus link bassfisher provided above, and click on the Support tab, you will see the QVL - qualified vendor list - of supported CPUs for that board. Asus is good at updating their QVLs when (if) BIOS upgrades add new CPUs supported by the board. However, since the CPU you are interested in uses a different socket, bassfisher is correct again - that board will never support that CPU.
