So me and my friend tried to build a computer, what I'm afraid of is that perhaps something is missing or some parts don't work together, we're really new to this so I ask if someone could point out our mistake?

Mother Board: MSI B75MA-P45
Memory: DDR3 Crucial Ballistix 8GB 1600MHz Cl9 1.5
Storage: SSD Crucial MX100 256GB SATA3
Seagate SV35 3.5'' 2TB SATA3
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970, 4GB GDDR5 (256Bit)
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K
Case: Pc case without PSU Cooler Master N300, Midi tower
PSU Cooler: Master ATX B500, 500W, 12cm ventilator.

It should work fine.

I assume you are not going to overclock and just using the stock Intel cooler that comes with the CPU.

If you intend to overclock beyond 4Ghz I suggest a more capable cooler like the Hyper 212 Evo which is cheap yet proven excellent.

Whatever cooler you may buy, first ensure it is able to fit in your case.

It looks like it should be compatible, although the PSU is a little low for that build. Also you would usually pair the 3570k with a Z77 motherboard.

What is your specific problem? Are you getting any beeps, lights, fans spinning, POST?

use pcpartpicker.com to make lists

Your build is dated . The equivalent current processor is the i5 4690K
Use a motherboard with a Z97 chipset . The B series board you have is really for small business users and cant overclock the processor , yet you are paying more for a K sku processor that can overclock

The hard drive is not optimal for desk tops . Use a seagate barracuda , WD blue , or WD black

Coolermaster make some of the worst power supplies . Some are not even worth using as door stops . They do make good models too though .
Use only 80+ bronze or better

Ok so I changed:
hdd to a seagate barracuda
the board i changed to is a Z97M ANNIVERSARY ASROCK
the cpu to a i5-4690K
and the cooler to a master 80 plus, which is a 12cm fan. I'm pretty sure it will fit in the case.

And I thought I'll change the video card to a ASUS Radeon R9 290

Anything else I should change/check? Thanks in advance.
