Technically the parts would work together, but there's a good chance the CPU won't work with the motherboard straight away unless the motherboard BIOS has been upgraded to the latest version.

If you are upgrading from Skylake to Kaby Lake, then you should update the BIOS first to ensure compatibility.


That's true, but the OP didn't choose a Coffee Lake processor...
