So this is the CPU I want to use:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i3-3225 3.30GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (55W) - Retail **High Performance IGP** £109.99
Total : £109.99 (includes shipping : FREE).



In this motherboard:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus P8H61-I Intel H61 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard £69.95
Total : £69.95 (includes shipping : FREE).

I read this but not found any definite info.

7. Compatible with Sandy Bridge. Intel has, not entirely unjustifiably, earned a reputation of forcing people to upgrade their motherboards to run almost every new processor line on the market. But that's not the case with Ivy Bridge CPUs: Because they also use the LGA1155 socket, you can put one in a Sandy Bridge motherboard and still have it work - all you'll need to do is update your firmware, BIOS, and video drivers. Only four motherboards using the 6 Series chipsets support Ivy Bridge (H61, H67, P67, and Z68), but if your computer already uses one of those you already have everything you need.

Question is will it work?
