If you're talking about Haswell-e (hexa and octa core) due to come out this year, then no, they support LGA 2011-3 socket and the MoBo you linked is LGA1150.

But if you're talking about Broadwell, due to come in 2014 or Q2 2015, then yes this MoBo would support the 5th gen. the i7 will have quad core with hyperthreads making it a 8 core performance (like the current i7s).

Also Broadwell will most likely not support DDR4 (other than server platforms) while the Haswell e will.

Okay thank you MeteorsRaining, I meant the new Broadwell CPU's coming out later. Sorry, I should have been more specific but I couldn't remember then name of the line of processors but I knew someone smart would come along and help me out!

No it won't. That is a Socket LGA 1150 board, while the only 8 core Intels in sight are the Haswell-E processors, which will be LGA 2011-3. (Mind that none of these boards have been released as yet, look out for them from September onwards)
