Haswell Intel Core I5-4460 and MSI H81M-P33 Intel H81 Socket LGA 1150 DDR3
If it is compatible I'll order it tomorrow. I've checked myself and everything seems compatible but you all know a lot more about PC's than I do.
Thanks.

CPU support list for this motherboard:
http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5158#

All CPUs are listed as BIOS version F2, so the board must come with this version or higher from the factory.
This looks like a better choice.


You could be right about the BIOS update. The CPU compatibility list shows Core i5-4460 support with BIOS update 7817v14.zip.
If it won't boot before the update, there is no easy way to update the firmware.
