You're thinking carefully about compatibility. The CPU must match both the socket type and the chipset. Since you're considering an H61 board, it should fit the LGA 1155 socket and work with the B75 chipset. Just make sure the motherboard supports those specifications before proceeding.
You need a motherboard compatible with both LGA1155 and B75 sockets, and it should support Ivy Bridge processors.
However, Z77 and most of the 70 SKUs generally work with Ivy Bridge.
Ivy Bridge CPUs are compatible with most 70-series boards except the X79. They also fit nearly all 60-series boards provided they have a recent BIOS update. This matters since updating BIOS often requires a CPU that matches it.
