It'll need a BIOS update and won't have full overclocking support, but yes it will.

you'll need a cpu that works without the update. 

Unless of course the board has a usb-flashable bios--which a cheaper board more than likely wouldn't have. 

 

If you're looking for a cheap board, and haven't bought one yet, I'd get the ASrock z97 Anniversary

if you can get someone with a 1150 CPU that could lend it to you, it's worth it. But yeah, paying $100+ on a mobo for that CPU is not worth it.
