No. That CPU (socket 1155) is not compatible with that motherboard (socket 1150). As RGD1101 states, there are six generations of Intel Core series processors.

When deciding to upgrade, you first need to make sure the CPU and the motherboard have the same socket. Then you need to verify the the CPU you have/want is actually supported by the motherboard you have/want by checking the motherboard's CPU Support List, found on the motherboard manufacturer's web site.
