Almost certainly yes.

That motherboard has a "200 series" chipset which was released at the same time as the kaby-lake processors. So you shouldn't have to worry about getting an old-stock board with an outdated bios.

I'm not certain about that specific motherboard, but I know that motherboards which need firmware updates to support the new CPU won't be usable until an old CPU is used to update the firmware. That is to say, unless you have a spare old CPU, it won't work. A better choice is to buy a newer motherboard that explicitly supports the new CPU out of the box.
