Is the MSI Gaming Z97 GAMING 5 compatible with my components?

[Nicholas Ardavin]

Hello, I am in the process of upgrading my gaming PC's CPU to an Intel i7-4790k, which means that I need a new motherboard as I previously had an AMD processor. I am currently looking at the MSI Gaming Z97 GAMING 5 motherboard to replace my current one. Originally, I bought a pre-built CybertronPC Assassin. Since then, I have upgraded the computer a few times. I now have a Corsair CX750 power supply, Nvidia GTX 780 GPU, 24 gb (2 x 8gb + 2 x 4gb) DDR3 RAM, along with an additional fan. What I am most concerned about is if the motherboard will support the front panel fan control, audio ports, and usb ports (2 x 3.0 + 1 x 2.0) from my original case.

I just want to make sure that the motherboard is compatible with all of my existing components before I purchase it. If there are any other problems with the build that I have not caught, please let me know. Thanks!

It is compatible with the build. You can check yourself the internal headers by looking at the board itself:
