P55 PRO/USB 3 and i5 3570k

[Fico125]

Hello,I have motherboard AsRock P55 PRO/USB 3 and Im planning to buy i5 3570k..is my motherboard good for that procesor?

 

[Cons29]

if im not mistaken, that board is 1156, 3570k is 1155 (sandy and ivy), they are not compatible, even physically

get something like z77 extreme4, not so expensive but a good board.
or get a better cpu if you can find one. or just upgrade both motherboard and procie if possible

better cpu than i5 3570k? i dont need stronger than that..at least I think so..
what is the best motherboard for i5 3570k for the price of 250€?

asrocks z77 extreme4 is a good buy. of course there are a lot more options.

I read that Z77 is not that good..that is too much money,for such motherboard..
