will this work with a b150a gaming pro motherboard? null

HI rugrat4x, your MSI B150a motherboard unfortunately is not compatible with the Intel Core i5-9600K processor since it uses an older B150 chipset that is only compatible with 6th generation Intel Core processors. For the Intel Core i5-9600K processor you will need a motherboard with the LGA 1151 socket and 300 series chipset. Best Buy does sell compatible motherboards which you can check out here https://www.bestbuy.com/site/computer-cards-components/motherboards/abcat0507008.c?id=abcat0507008&qp=processorsocketsv_facet%3DProcessor%20Socket~Socket%20LGA%201151 I also recommend Intel Optane memory which will help make you system more responsive from faster bootups, to faster launching of your most used files, applications and games.

Yes, this CPU is for an LGA 1151 socket and the b150a has an LGA 1151 socket.
