Is This Rig Going To Work?

[Combat_Arts]

Hi. I'm new to computer building and I am soon going to build my first gaming pc. I just wanted to know if this rig is going to work (be compatible) with each part I chose. Here are the specs:

M-Power 1155 Mobo
Intel i5 Ivy bridge 3570K
Gigabyte 7950 3gb
Storm Stryker case
Gskil 16gb (2x8) DDR3 low profile ram
FSP aurum 750w psu gold certified
Nocturnia nh-d14 cpu cooler
Intel 335 240gb ssd
Ihas lite-on dvdrw

Thanks

-Ben

Everything works.... few thoughts to consider.....little nervous on the PSU tho

I don’t think there’s any compelling reason to move from an Ivy Bridge or even a Sandy Bridge based system to a Haswell system– there simply isn’t enough performance and feature differential to justify it. On the other hand, if you’re building a new rig from scratch, there’s little point in investing in end-of-life platforms, so going Haswell/Z87 makes sense.

id get the new one if ya dead set on the mpower...tho ya might wanna save some money and get the GD-65, the GD is getting glowing reviews everywhere ya turn.

Now and again a motherboard appears that is so obviously brilliant, and so affordable, that we wonder if anything will be able to top it. For a while that crown was held by the ASUS Sabertooth, both in X58 and then P67 variants. Then MSI stole the crown with the Z77 MPower. Looking at the Z87 GD65 Gaming we think it's going to take something extraordinary to top it, such is the perfect storm of price, performance, features and looks.

The switch to Military Class 4 has given us an extremely ready overclocker too. You're always thermally limited when overclocking and the i7-4770K is one of the most demanding around. Considering the amount of cooling we're using we think that although the GD65 is capable of bringing 5GHz from our i7-4770K you'd need a proper water loop to make the most of it.

Performance is outstanding. The stock results were a particular highlight. We know a lot of people still just like to put their CPU in and go, without overclocking it first. Despite how easy it is these days we know that the fear factor still exists. So you'll be glad to know that the MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming really rocks hard even at stock settings. Naturally the overclocking is blistering too, with some OC3D records broken.

MSI have laid the gauntlet down to all the other manufacturers. Gorgeous to look at, blistering performance and all at a very affordable price, the MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming is not only the new benchmark for Z87 motherboards, but probably for all motherboards.

Great combo here with the N760 which
