You picked the right one, the latest from your manufacturer is the right one. What remains to be seen however is whether the BIOS supports the new CPU (should be found in any release notes or check with others here), it should, but there's no guarantee unless you can see the changes they've (manufacturer) have made to the BIOS (noted in release notes).
