Unfortunately no. Ryzen is a completely different socket type from your motherboard.

 

You will need an AM4 socket motherboard and DDR4 ram to go with it.

I'm wandering if my Asus z97-k motherboard will be compatible with AMDs new Ryzen CPUs? If any: which ones, if not all?

On the box it says it has an intel LGA 1150 socket that 'supports 22nm CPUs'.

Im considering purchasing an R5 1600x and I'll want to be able to overclock it.

There is an attached image for more details.image.jpg

I'm running Windows 10 if that helps.

It's not the size of cpu, it's the socket. Socket plays the most important role in determining if it's compatible or not
