CPU is good, mobo is bad and not compatible. You'll need a LGA1151 socket and preferably a Z170 to allow you to overclock. For a budget z170 board the Asrock Z170 Pro4 ATX is pretty good. Make sure to get DDR4 ram also, the cheapest 8GB kit is 9/10 good and speed usually doesn't matter but I suggest getting 2400-2666Mhz as a good amount of games can benefit from it. Also you'll need a cooler if you don't already have one. I suggest the Cryorig h7 or M9i or the BeQuier! Pure Rock

What are the rest of your specs so we can make sure everything else is compatible? If wanted I can provide links to these parts
