No. The Z87 board is LGA1150, and the 3570K is LGA1155. Two different sockets with different amounts and placement of pins.

The most important thing in CPU/MOBO selection is compatibility. That CPU is NOT compatible with that Motherboard. Make sure that the Motherboard has a LGA1155 Socket to match your selected CPU so you don't ruin your CPU.

For a cpu to work in a mother board the motherboard must have the same lga socket as the cpu. Make sure you have it right you can usually see this in the specs of a motherboard on a website (Amazon, Newegg ect)

although the socket is different, it is designed for 3 gen CPUS (i3,i5,i7) but it needs to be exactly the same with your CPU
