Hello iLIX-XtreM;

No it's not supported.
Are you sure you want to hold on to that old CPU?
A new CPU/MB combo can really improve performance over that old CPU

Reason it's not supported?
Your CPU would need a socket 775 motherboard.
Asus P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 is socket 1155
and Asus P9X79 PRO is socket 2011

If you have the money for any of those boards why not get a higher end cpu and a mid ranged board? Like an i5-2500k and an asrock z68 extreme 3 gen 3?
