Are you in for a challenge with this configuration?
here is the list of all the xeons that your motherboard supports
(not every one is recommended to purchase, only those that are 4c/8t and preferably ivy bridge revision, which corresponds to an i7 3770 level of performance)
it will work perfectly fine, you won’t even need a bios update.
though if they are too costly in your country, it’s best not to bother.
i would consider buying one only if the price is between 30€ and 40€...
