Intel i5 3550p & AS Rock Z77 PRO 3

Last response: in Motherboards

Hey everyone, I know nothing about Computers and I'm trying to build my first gaming PC.
I just made an impulse buy without checking compatibility first (it was $65.00, I had to do it).


http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-3350P-Quad-Core-Pro...

and

http://www.amazon.com/LGA1155-Z77-CrossFireX-Motherboar...

Am I going to encounter any problems pairing the two? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. :)

It's perfectly compatible, the cpu and the motherboard(it supports that cpu out of the box).
Just a note, that cpu doesn't have integrated graphics, but i guess you know that and since it's a gaming pc, you'll have a discrete graphics card, so you're fine.

Oh ok thanks, I was worried there for a second. Would you happen to know what GPU would fit nicely with this? I was thinking the Radeon HD 7850 or the GTX 650 ti but I would be okay with going up to $225 if there's a significant increase in performance (I just saw the AC:Black Flag trailer lol).

I'm sorry for asking so many questions
