Are these parts compatible? (Newegg links)

I'm just about to upgrade my old prebuilt PC for the first time, and was wondering if these parts are compatible

Would these also be compatible with my current mobo also? Customised ECS H61H2-MV

These parts are compatible, except for your motherboard. i7 4790k is 1150 socket CPU, while your motherboard has 1155 socket.
If you plan to overclock that CPU, you need decent z97 1150 motherboard.
eg : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157507&cm_re=asrock_z97_pro4-_-13-157-507-_-Product
Also, if you don't plan SLI (dual GPU) build, get 550w qualtiy PSU, it will be sufficient for your build.

If I don't plan to overclock, would I still need to upgrade?

Xemko · Jul 22, 2015

Yes, you still need new motherboard for Haswell (1150 socket) CPU. If you don't plan to overclock, you can get cheaper(locked, no overclockability) CPU, such as i5 4460/i5 4590 and cheaper h97 chipset motherboard - great value options for gaming. If you are planning on streaming/editing/gaming - Xeon e3 1231 v3 is a great option.

eg -
i5 4590 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116991&cm_re=i5_4590-_-19-116-991-_-Product
Xeon e3 1231 (basically i7 4770 without integrated graphics) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117316&cm_re=xeon_1231-_-19-117-316-_-Product
h97 motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157511&cm_re=h97_asrock_pro-_-13-157-511-_-Product
550w PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013&cm_re=xfx_550-_-17-207-013-_-Product

No, the processor is meant for an LGA1150 socket, but your motherboard has the older LGA1155. There are still a few processors on the market for that socket, but you can get a much bigger bang for your buck buying used. If you want a compatible and unlocked i7 (you want the Devil's Canyon so I assume you want to overclock) I would suggest the i7-2600K, or the i7-3770K if you're able to find one.

agentbondy43 · Jul 22, 2015

Would an Intel i5 4590 Quad Core CPU (3.30GHz, 6MB Cache, 84W, Graphics, Turbo Boost Technology, Socket 1150) be compatible?

agentbondy43 · Jul 22, 2015

So there's no way I can keep my old mobo, I've never bought / replaced any PC parts and starting with the MOBO I feel would be too scary, is there no 1155 CPU's that are good on the market?

You need 3rd generation of Intel i3/i5/i7 CPU, the main concern is the price, you can get newer generation for less money nowadays, unless you want to buy used CPU from ebay.

agentbondy43 · Jul 22, 2015

So a Intel 3rd Generation Core i5-3570K CPU (4 x 3.40GHz, Ivy Bridge, Socket 1155, 6Mb L3 Cache, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0) would do the job?

agentbondy43 · Jul 22, 2015

LGA1155 Socket is compatible right?

Xemko · Jul 22, 2015

It will do the job, but it's more expensive than equal newer 4th generation CPU. i5 3570k (unlocked CPU), but your motherboard does not support overclocking, there is no point in getting K (uncloked version) of CPU.
For gaming, I'd get i5 4590 + h97 motherboard.

agentbondy43 · Jul 22, 2015

Price isn't really an issue, so if this "Intel BX80637I73770 - Core i7 3770 - 3.4 GHz - 4 cores - 8 threads - 8 MB cache - LGA1155 Socket - B" is compatible i'll get it.

Xemko · Jul 22, 2015

It is compatible -http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailId=1427&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=1&CategoryID=-1&LanID=0#fragment-CPU .
