Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

The short answer is no. The motherboard you have is a AMD platform and the chip you are referring to is Intel. Apart from that they are years apart in timelines. ;D

Obviously it depends on what you are going to be asking your computer to do most of the time but in general I would say that this is the most powerful CPU:
