Is this motherboard compatible with the PSU and with the videocard?

First time computer builder and I'm not sure if these two items are compatible and how to connect them with the cables. Could someone explain please??

Motherboard: MSI 970 GAMING DDR3 2133 ATX AMD Motherboard
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 80+ GOLD Fully Modular
Videocard: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB FTW GAMING ACX 2.0

Should be fine, just follow the instructions in the individual manuals

Alright thanks. The thing that is don't understand is: will the PSU come with a 8-pin cable that has the same pattern in both sides? Because my PSU and the CPU power connector in the motherboard have the exact same 8-pin patter. Will it work? How?

It's the second picture starting from the top in the left side in the URL provided below.

I am slightly confused with the question you are asking. I found an image on the cables that come with the PSU and it appears that there is a one that on both ends is 8pin

If this is not the answer you wanted please feel free to ask me again!

What I meant is that the pattern that you can see where you connect the CPU cable in the PSU is the same as the pattern in the motherboard where you should connect the CPU cable going from the PSU to the motherboard in order to power the CPU. With the pattern I mean that like some spaces are full squares while others are some kind of mixture between a square and a semi-circle. Is that alright? Will everything work anyway and will I be able to connect all cables?

Btw thank you for helping me!

Don't worry, It will all fit.
One end of the cable is split (if mb's have smaller input). This is not a problem as you just put them in together.
Here's how it will work:

Again, Ask if help is needed!
