Motherboard compatibility, need help

y do you even want an i3

the motherboard accepts SocketType LGA 1151 and the i# is a LGA 1151. So it will work

i3 is a decent budget processor, and is more than enough for just browsing online or w/e. op should probably at least invest in an i5 if he wants to last more than 6 months in vidya though, processor needs are rising my dude. I'm gonna be stuck in the past since my PC had a T-model i3 preinstalled and I haven't replaced it yet

You would possibly need a bios update before the board supports Kaby series. To get this bios update, you would need a processor that's compatible with an older bios version.
Check motherboard support site to be sure.

Ignore him.

You need a BIOS that's newer than Kaby Lake for Kaby Lake to POST. The really high-end boards can update the BIOS using the SMC, but the low-end ones need a working processor to update the BIOS and make the processor work.

tl;dr: OP isn't an idiot for asking this, you are for giving him an answer that's incorrect and not even googling it.

i3,i5,i7 IS LGA 1150. I have had and i3 and I upgraded to the i7 and my board is a LGA 1150. I had to update my BIOS.

No, only i[357]-[45]xxx is.

It's the first number in the second set of numbers that tells you which generation (and therefore which socket) the processor is. 6xxx (Skylake) and 7xxx (Kaby Lake) are 1151. 4xxx (Haswell) and 5xxx (Broadwell) are 1150. 2xxx (Sandy Bridge) and 3xxx (Ivy Bridge) are 1155. -xxx (Nehalem) and 1xxx (Westmere) are 1156.

The difference between Haswell-->Broadwell and Skylake-->Kaby Lake is that if your BIOS was out of date, Broadwell would still boot into a state where it was capable of updating the BIOS. Kaby Lake on an old BIOS is a brick.
