is this compatible with an am3 motherboard? null

The AM3 Motherboard that you are referring to is an AMD Motherboard and will not support the Intel Core i5-8400F 8th Generation Processor mentioned. You would require a Motherboard based on Intel 300 Series Chipset that supports Socket 1151. I would recommend that you check out MSI’s MPG Z390 Gaming Plus Motherboard located at Best Buy. That ATX Board has 2 advanced M.2 slots, LED Lighting and fast RAM (DDR 4) support; which the 8th Generation Intel Core Processors support and all modern platforms have already switched to.
