No you need an am4 socket board which aren't for sale yet

You'll need DDR4 RAM as well.

It will not fit. You're going to need a new board and RAM.

What's your graphics card? Are you sure it's not the piece that's holding you back?

True, but some are available for pre-order.

The ASRock X370 Killer SLI/ac is looking like a really good board and it's equipped a monstrous set of VRMs for the price.

This is not a recommendation. Nobody has released a review of this board yet. I was simply showing that they're available.

This is true.

Cool. That card is still relevant in most games.

I still use a GTX 760 ti (OEM, rebranded 670) in one of my machines and it does well in most games at 1080p. I haven't tried max settings in any games, because I'm not a fan of the extra AA and other effects it stacks on that don't really look any better but they sure do make graphics cards tank.
