Mobo is just fine for that CPU, since you have decided on a totally non overclockable system, although I would give thought to a Xeon or i7, as the hyperthreading may be to your advantage if your build is not intended for primarily game usage.

Them go with Sr-71 suggestion, but 1 extra, spend the lil bit extra and get the 4670k and a cm Hyper212 EVO. Even a decent OC from 3.4 to 4.2 will make a difference in your framerates, for better play, and is no harder than setting turbo to manual and bumping the multiplier from 38 to 42.
