Hello!

I am planning to buy a GPU (Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB) and my motherboard (MSI Z170A KRAIT GAMING) with an Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5Ghz and a Corsair RM 550W Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply. I want to know if these are compatible?
I know my Mobo IS Compatible with my CPU, and my GPU is PCIE3, so is my MotherBoard.

Here is what we know so far:
CPU + Mobo = Compatible
GPU + Mobo = PCIE3 (Both)
PSU + Mobo + CPU = Compatible

but my question is, will my motherboard be able to carry my GPU; and will my PSU Be able to supply it with a bunch of other stuff in it? According to PCPartPicker, Most of my parts would only need 275-300w Total. Just to be on the safe wide of adding other things, I'm getting a 550W (80+ Gold) PSU. Now, 550W - (approx.)300W = 250W. Will 250W Be sufficent to handle my graphics card? At the moment, it will be a single graphics card. Unfortunately, on Asus's website for the GPU does not provide information for the wattage needed (or atleast I didn't find it.) So basically I need to know if my PSU's remaining 250W will be able to support my GPU? Also, you could take off about 20-40W from the 250, leaving it at about 210W for my GPU. Sorry for having you to read all this, but I really need your help. My motherboard's socet (CPU) is LGA1151, and so is my CPU, so I know those are compatible. My Mobo's PCIE slot is 3.0 and so is my GPU's Connector. So I know they will fit; but is there any other compatibility issues between them (excluding PSU) that I need to know of?

You are fine, though with that setup is overkill for a 750ti. You system with graphics card will barely push the PSU anything under 400watt is perfectly safe with selections. The PSU you picked will provided way more than enough power so you can upgrade to a stronger card in the future if you like.

Everything is compatible

http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator go there an put in all your options you will see even with the 750ti you system will only used about 300-315watts
