Personaly i would be concerned with that motherboard working out of box with that Ivy... That MB was made before the ivy was available and may not work without a bios update and may need to research wether it will support that ivy, so i would sugest using a MB that will suport that CPU like the Z77 chipset that way you can also use the new features available like the onboard gpu and also support for pcix 3.0 but that just my 2cents.
