Hi,
I was offered the chance to build my own PC for the first time and I took it.
But there is something I'm not sure about. Whether the CPU and mobo would be compatible with each other or not.
So far i've seen that the socket has to match up, the one im looking at is this MSI Z87-G45-GAMING ATX and this i5 4670K.
MSI Z87-G45-GAMING ATX: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00D12OBEU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
i5 4670K: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CO8TBOW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
I think they would work as the sockets match up and the board is ready with the 4th gen CPU i've chosen.
Also, how much effect does the CPU and mobo have on the PSU? As GPUs give me PSU requirements but mobos and CPus don't? Would I have to choose PSU that exceeds the gpu requirements?
I'll be choosing a 750W Corsair CX750. This also meets the requirement of my chosen GPU.
Thanks in advance.
