Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H with i5 4440?

ImperialAnarchy · Mar 19, 2015

So I wanted to know if that motherboard would work fine with the i5 I mentioned?
Also since this is my first build, would it be easy to work with that motherboard?
I'm going to pair it with an MSI GTX 960 for gaming. Do you guys think it would be a solid build?
Also I'm a bit confused about the PSU. The ones I've selected yet are the Corsair CX-500 and Seasonic S12II 430. So yea guys, I need your help, please!

The motherboard will work just fine but I would get this psu in place of both if possible. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr

The cx series psu's are made with cheap parts such as capacitors and 430 watts is not enough.

750 watts is a bit overkill for a 960 and the 4440 to be honest. The recommended wattage of the PSU for the 960 is 450 watts i think. So I just wanted to know if 430 watts would do the job? Or else I'll have to buy some other one.
Thanks for your reply though.

I understand 750watts is overkill for a gtx 960 however for the price of only ~$60 why not? you can get one with 300 fewer watts for what $3 less? The seasonic will be fine but limit any future upgrade choices such as going sli if you don't plan on it however it will do you fine.
