CPU and obo are not compatible. Different sockers. CX series psu's are O.K. would go with a seasonic or XFX or OCZ Modstream.

Why don't you go with Z87 Chipset motherboards instead of Z77. You can try to get ASUS maximus VI hero or formula. That would be better. Also PSU CX is not that good. You can go with RM 650 or TX 650 in Corsair

i know didn't mean that MOBO meant: Gigabyte H87-HD3 Motherboard (Socket 1150, H87 Express, DDR3, S-ATA 600, ATX, Haswell, Supports 4thGeneration IntelCore Processors, GIGABYTE UEFI Dual BIOS)

Then it is good. The PSU isn't very top-notch quality. Get a seasonic, XFX, OCZ, or a different Corsair psu that is not the CX series.
