With the 9100 mounting bracket available, it should work fine. Still wondering why the 9100 is recommended—wouldn't an AMD 3300X be a better choice at the same cost? Thought about it.
I'm working with a very limited budget, so if I had to choose between AMD models, I'd pick the 3200Mhz over the 2666Mhz version. That upgrade would add about $15-20 to the cost. The 3300X is priced higher than the 9100F in my country, but it's still a good deal at around $150 compared to the $70 for the 9100F. People have been buying it quickly since its release, and it's selling well above its original price. If I could buy the 3300X for the same amount as the 9100F, I'd be done right away.
Just to clarify, I'm receiving the 9100F model, not the 9100. If I could afford the 9100, I'd opt for a Ryzen setup instead.
I believe the 3300X offers 4 cores and 8 threads, which matches the optimal thread count for current computing needs. Its price is roughly around $125.
This was a $226 price point you needed to consider. Here’s the breakdown: 8 threads, board, and memory included. Everything confirmed.

I missed this part. I have no idea what country you're in., My apologies. Get the 9100F then.
