No, you're using an AMD processor & board. You would need a processor compatible with your socket. And tbh it's not worth it. You're better off considering a new board & cpu then looking for one compatible with your board. You'd probably need new ram as well. Ryzen 5 will be out soon & may be something you might want to consider

Ahh okay, thanks for the quick reply. Is there a board and CPU you could suggest for around 200 gbp?

wait for R5/3 if you really want to upgrade the FX 8350 is $150 spend a little more on another 8gb stick of ram and you will be fine.

Need to know the make and model of your case to be able to suggest a compatible motherboard.

Lower end Ryzen CPUs aren't going to be obtainable with your budget since even the 4 core models are rumoured to be priced around £150. So it looks very much like the Pentium G4560 will remain the budget king.
