Hi, it is a good motherboard but it does not support your cpu. Your cpu is is LGA socket 1156 but the motherboard your looking at is LGA socket 1150. The Intel Core i5-4690K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 3.5GHz would be the best case scenario upgrade from i5 to but it's $240. They have compatible Pentium Dual-Core's, Pentiums and Celeron processors starting at $59.00.

Personally I suck it up and get the i5-4690K. You get a lot more service years with it opposed to the Dual core Pentiums and below and a hell of a lot more performance.

That's only if you use Intel XMP1.3 profiles.

"All XMP does is allow your BIOS to automatically configure the overclocked DRAM voltage and timing information instead of forcing you to do it manually. It does not guarantee stability

You can use XMP RAM in non-XMP motherboards and you can use non-XMP RAM in XMP motherboards. In both cases you will simply have to set the timings and voltage manually if you decide to go outside of the recommended specifications". - From Pinhedd ( another forum member). So if you overclock and over volt the ram you will have to do it manually using an i5 instead of an i7.
