Hey Rickey, You are correct. This motherboard that this system comes equipped with is an AM3+ socket board. These are compatible with AMD-FX series CPUs. For an i7 8700K CPU, you would need an LGA 1151 If you have additional question or need further assistance, please feel to contact our support team: https://www.ibuypower.com/Support Thank you!
