i5 3470 on h61?

[antixher025]

I want to get an i5 3470 with a gtx 660 and I want to spend under or maybe just a bit over $700 CDN. I also want to grab the razer naga aswell maybe the arctosa or a BenQ 1080p monitor. Since i'm on a budget is it okay to use the 3470 on and h61 mobo? Also, is it okay to use the 500w PSU that comes with the Coolermaster 350 Elite? I know I should buy a 80+ certified PSU but I want to make the most of my money. All help will be very much appreciated.

I really would like to grab the naga with my build but is not completely necessary.

To run a Ivy bridge CPU on h61 chipset you must flash the bios first. But i would recommend to buy a proper motherboard, its much better and reliable. Go for a H77 motherboard, if you wont have dual gfx cards and wont overclock. Take the ASUS P8H77-M LE motherboard, it will support your i5 and that gtx 660
