Hey all,

I was just wondering if the motherboard stated above would be able to run a Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU, and a Asus GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card GPU. Sorry if this question seems obvious, but I have no clue about motherboards.
 
Solution
Yes it will. No issues at all.

There is one thing that other may point out and it's the Z97 chipset vs an H97. So Z chipsets are designed for overclocking components (RAM, CPU) and for multiple GPUs. If you're not going to do either of those, you could technically save money and purchase a cheaper H97 chipset which offers the majority of the same features except the previous ones listed.

Thanks! Quick question, can the Asus B85M-E also handle this combo?
