That LGA 1156 board will only take older Nahalem (not sandy bridge or Ivy bridge) CPUs like the pentium G6950, i3 500 series i5 600/700 series and i7 800 series.

The LGA1155 H61 motherboards suggested above are much better options since they can take the newer sandy bridge and ivy bridge CPUs - like the great value G530 and G620.

The GTX 460 1GB graphics card suggested above is significantly faster than the GTX 550 Ti - so a good choice there.
 
Do you already have it?

If so then you could buy a second-hand i5 750/760 quad core for ~£70 (ie the combined cost of a dual core G620 and H61 board) and get CPU performance which is much better than a dual core sandy bridge (see here). Also, the H55 boards are not amazing for overclocking - but they do allow it (unlike H61 boards) - so with an i5 750/760, so you should be able to achieve ~3.6GHz with decent cooling.
 
Maybe when it was new- but they regularly sell for £70-80 second-hand now.

It is well worth a look - its a powerful CPU for the money - especially if you already have a board that supports it.
