Forgive my uneducated question, but recently I've been looking into building my first gaming pc and I'm unsure if Z87 motherboards will run a older processor. The CPU I have in mind is the i5 3470 and the motherboard I'm looking to purchase is the MSI Z87-G45 Gaming. Please, any assistance would be appreciated.

no, they will not work together as the cpu is socket 1155 and the motherboard is socket 1150, if you are dead set on the msi mobo, check out the z77 series (z77's are socket 1155)

Thank you, that definitely makes things easier. I will pick up a z77 board then.
