That cpu and mobo aren't compatible as they are not the same socket. Either get an X58 mobo for that 960 (if you already have the cpu) or get an i5 2500k with a P55 mobo. I'm not to up to date on the socket 1155 mobo's so I can't really give much of a recommendation for those. If you stick with the i7 960 then get a mobo (socket 1366 with X58 chipset) from either ASUS, EVGA, MSI or Gigabyte. The i5 2500k is a newer cpu than the i7 960 (i7 9xx cpu's have been out for a couple of years now).

Nah get the new i5 2500k and get a z68 chipset, benefits of h67 and p67.
