Nope, the CPU and motherboard won't work together, wrong socket. You're going to need to pick a LGA 2011 CPU if you want to keep the motherboard, or pick a LGA 1155 motherboard if you want to keep the CPU.

thanks
is every thing else ok
and should i keep the motherboard or the cpu

I'd say keep the CPU, keeping the motherboard would probably throw you way out of budget, since you'd have to buy a socket 2011 CPU, and those appear to be pretty pricey...pick a nice socket 1155 motherboard and you should be good to go

i decided on the GIGABYTE ATX Motherboard 2666MHz
