That's the same Z390 that you posted about before, so no, it won't work with the older processor.

Very old processors/motherboards (in the 90s) used to work cross-generation, and (some) Ryzens do, but in general - and particularly from Intel - a new generation of processor needs a new generation of motherboard, and a new generation of motherboard needs a new generation of processor.

If you don't already have a motherboard, and so likely don't already have RAM, you're going to find it much easier, and likely not much more expensive, to find a reasonable full Ryzen system that will perform much better, rather than scrabbling around trying to find a stash of discontinued kit.

BTW, somewhat contrary to what you said CatKiller, at least two gens of cpus are supported with this mobo. I'm not so sure about all the Celerons and Pentiums, I haven't been following those product lines.
