Yes, it will work, more than likely out of the box. It's a midrange to high end board so the VRMs should be ample enough to run it but don't expect crazy overclocks. Usually when a board is around for so long they send them out with updated BIOS chips so the chance you'll need a BIOS update are slim to none.

If you don't care for Intel (I don't), @GoldenLag just built a way nicer system for you, there's no way I wouldn't choose that build over the Intel one. No reason to, honestly.

Here is a better setup.
 
I will recommend waiting untill after CES before pulling any triggers. New products are rumoured to be anounched/teased

Doesn't look bad but it looks like for the price of that GPU you could get a 1070 TI. And the Entho Pro M I think is a better case.
