Without the mobo it will be hard to make it work.

As far as I can tell everything you picked out will work together. However, I don't like the motherboard or the brand of PSU. #1 rule. Never shimp on quality or size of the PSU. It runs your whole system and a cheap one can take your whole system out with it. I recommend Seasonic, Corsair, Antec, XFX brands. There are people who like them, but personally I wouldn't buy an MSI motherboard. If you are planning to overclock, I would stay with Asus. That's my 2 cents.

Steve, does the mobo link work for you. All I get is this.

I get the same, but I'm familar with the Mobo he is talking about.

 

[essenbe]

Here is a list of all the MSI Z77 boards on that site, I believe.
ALTERNATE

You are way ahead of me, lol.

Alternate is the German equivalent to NewEgg. I sometimes buy stuff from them when I am in Germany. But this Alternate seems to be in the UK.

I have the MSI g45 gaming board and I am happy with it. I'm one of very few here that has good performance with MSI mb's. When I click the link for the psu it shows seasonic x series 650, that is a good psu.

 

[essenbe]

I agree about the PSU Dude, but it says not available.

Great advice above. I'm also a fan of Asus motherboards, but some have had good results with the MSI GD-65 Gaming board. For the PSU, I would go with SeaSonic, Corsair, or Antec for quality and warranty. Also, if you haven't ruled it out, I would add in a 120/128GB SSD. If you have to, save money on the fan controller/optical drive to get the SSD. It's absolutely the best piece of hardware you can install in your system.

 

[MrSH4RKYY]

I am able to get the parts from somewhere else and I had a post up for picking a psu everyone said thag that psu is good and worth it but I am unsure also on the motherboard I really dont know everyone says msi are crap and thatbi should not go with them but I need to have a board that can hold my liquid cooler and can take the i5 any asus boards that do that?? And would any of you know how to overclock on it at all??
Thanks for the help

 

[kbrady1979]

Pretty much any Z77 Asus motherboard will fit that bill. Most of us on here that do OC do use Asus boards as well, so yeah, I'm sure someone can help you overclock it

 

[MrSH4RKYY]

Ok thanks man I just need to figure out what psu and ill pick out a asus motherboard.
And I will sell some parts of my old pc and buy a ssd xd

 

[kbrady1979]

Many of us on here love the Asus Z77 Sabertooth motherboard......it's a little pricey, but in my opinion worth every penny.

As for the PSU, the SeaSonic X750 Gold is an excellent option......fully modular, runs cool and quiet, and more than enough power.

 

[MrSH4RKYY]

Thank you mate

 

[N00berG00ber]

everything good except that mobo. go with an asus mobo!

 

[MrSH4RKYY]

haha yea man seems to be everyone is saying that thanks for the input !

 

[N00berG00ber]

haha yea man seems to be everyone is saying that thanks for the input !

TBH, i will never buy MSI anything anymore. maybe gpu, otherwise, nothing.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Funny as every single mobo for my 8 builds so far except one ASRock has been MSI and though I'm looking for a ITX mobo for a new build and it will be ASUS I've had nothing but good luck with MSI and outstanding service from them as well. It helps that MSI has a major west coast headquarters just 25 miles away.
