No reason they wouldn't be... but if you wanna be sure, put them all together in pcpartpicker.com, which should flag any incompatibilities

Motherboard may require a BIOS update to take that CPU. Which my be difficult without another older CPU to flash the BIOS. Local PC shop might be able to do it for you if it doesn't boot up with that CPU.
