Hello Community I am new to the forums here but I have a question about compatibility with the new i7 cpu and supermicro motherboard and memory. So my question is will this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182978 be compatible with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117559
also will this cpu support DDR3 1333 and 1600 memory cards. Also what do you guys think about this graphics card will it perform well with these other components http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127904 , and my final question is what power pack would you guys recommend for all of this, wattage wise?

Thank you guys, and gals!
 
Solution
It should support the CPU (https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/core/z170/c7z170-sq.cfm), but you need DDR4 memory modules. I'd suggest a quality 550W PSU like the EVGA 220-G2-0550-Y1.

Well, here is the thing, you are buying a K series chip which is capable of overclocking. Although you currently might feel like you will not be overclocking, that can easily change later on. I would probably get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UF39E2338&cm_re=1151_fan-_-9SIA4UF39E2338-_-Product
or the Evo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099&cm_re=1151_fan-_-35-103-099-_-Product

If not, **REMEMBER** that you will need a 1151 socket CPU fan support
 

A 28 cfm fan and a small cooler isn't very good to cool an i7. This would be much better (and slightly better than the CM 212 EVO): http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=h7+cryorig&N=-1&isNodeId=1
