I am thinking of getting a new motherboard that has a LGA 1150 socket but I'm not sure if it will work with my Intel i7 2600k processor. I haven't been able to find much info as I know it says 4th and 5th gen ready but I'm not sure if that means it doesn't support 2nd.

Will it work?

Thanks for your help
 
Thanks everyone for your answers and clarification so I'll pose a second question:

I recently got 2 GTX 780's that I wish to run in SLI so that's why I buying a new MoBo because it doens't have the PCIe setup required.

Because my i7 2600k only supports LGA 1155 should I buy a new processor to save money having to upgrade my MoBo again later and if so what Intel processor do you recommend in term of processing power and price?
