No, the i3 4160 uses LGA 1150.

That chipset (H110) only supports Skylake (6th gen) and Kaby Lake (7th gen) Intel CPUs.
The i3s and i5s aren't worth buying anymore because the low core and thread count, the only CPUs compatible with that motherboard worth buying are the i7s.

i.e. 6700, 6700K, 7700, 7700K

6th and 7th gen i3s only have 2 cores and 4 threads, most newer titles will suffer hard on those CPUs. The i5s have 4 cores but only 4 threads and are only very good in games that don't use more than 4 cores. The i7s are only worth it because they have hyperthreading, higher clocks, and higher single-core IPC so they can handle games using more than 4 cores much better than the i5s can.

Are you looking to buy, or you upgrading a current system?

Just look for any used Z87 boards.
But for an in that old I would just toss it and build something newer. If you come cross a decent used Z87 board, look to get a 4790K cpu and a decent cooler for it. As that cpu is still a decent little beast for gaming in any games to date.

Or upgrade to something modern.

Such as:

Ryzen 3100 or 3300 cpu

B450M or B550 Motherboard that supports Ryzen 3xxx series out of the box, such as any MSI Motherboard where the model ends in "Max"

2x 8gb DDR4 3000 or 3200; such as Corsair LPX, Gskill FlareX, Crucial Ballistix

At least one SSD.

A fresh self made Win10 64bit usb flash drive
