I have recently bought a Gainward GTX 970 as an upgrade from an Asus GTX 650, but with the new card I don't get past the BIOS when i boot. According to a previous thread, it's because the motherboard is so old that even the newest version of the BIOS doesn't recognize the new card. I need help with finding a motherboard that will be compatible with these parts:

(Current mobo: HP Pro 3400 MT)
CPU: i5 2300 @ 2.8GHz
GPU: Gainward GTX 970 4GB (Current: Asus GTX 650 2GB)
Memory: 2x4 Corsair ValueSelect @ 1333MHz
Disk: Seagate Barracuda 500GB
PSU: Corsair B600 600W

Does anyone have a suggestion? Any help at all is appreciated, tell me if i missed any nescessary information.

Seems promising, however the CPU is not my main concern, will the 970 be compatible wih this mobo?
