I found a deal for that cpu but I want to know if I can get it to work for lga 1150 on the intel website it says FCLGA1150 as the socket type. I have read some threads about the cpu should work with an lga 1150 motherboard but some bios won't recognize it. So is there a certain motherboard I can buy that this will work with.
Thanks

The difficulty is because you never know what BIOS is installed on a motherboard, before you purchase is. Supposedly, as stores restock their supply of a motherboard, the manufacturer ships out their boards with the latest BIOS installed, but there is always a chance that you could get a motherboard that's been sitting on a shelf for too long and does not have an updated BIOS.

I believe some manufacturers do put a BIOS version sticker on the outside of the box the motherboard ships in, so you may be able to determine it that way, but aside from that, the only way is to try it and see. If it doesn't work, you would either have to get a low-end, supported processor so you can update the BIOS or take it to a shop and have them update the BIOS for you.

so should just a generic motherboard with lga 1150 socket support work as long as it is on the latest bios

I'm not familiar with the lga 1150 motherboards but would a ASRock H97 Anniversary be a good choice as it is quite a bit less in my country and it matches the color theme of the build
