My question (I have tried on msi and cant even get on forums): is this mobo - MSI Gaming Z170A GAMING M5 LGA 1151 Intel Z170 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130873
compatible with this processor and ram?

Intel Pentium G4400 Skylake Dual-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 1151 65W BX80662G4400 Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 510
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G3KG0145



Model F4-2133C15D-8GVR G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000) Intel Z170 Platform

Also what minimum psu can I use w/0ut a graphics card just on board graphics and a single hdd to test if mobo and cpu work. For example install win7 and boot up nothing else. I currently have a 400w psu


Thank you in advance for your time and help

Yes but why would you pair such an expensive motherboard with such an inexpensive CPU? That motherboard is $180 and you're pairing it with a $50 CPU. Makes absolutely no sense. If you want to overclock get the 6600K. If you don't want to overclock an H170 and a i5-6500 would be a much wiser investment.
