Hi everyone,

I am currently looking for parts to build a new PC, and these are the parts I have "settled" with.

CPU: Intel Core i5 4590
GPU: ASUS Strix GeForce GTX 960 Factory Overclocked Graphics Card
MEM: Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) Ballistix Sport Series 240-Pin DIMM DDR3 PC3-12800 Memory Module Kit
PSU: Be Quiet! Pure Power L8 500W Power Supply
MOBO: MSI H97 Gaming 3 Motherboard or MSI B85M-E45 Motherboard
CASE: Cougar Solution 67M3 Mid Tower/white

I have 3 "questions".
1. Are both Mobo's compatible with the CPU?
2. Which Mobo is worth the price
3. Can you leave suggestions?
4. Is the power supply powerful enough?

Thanks!!
