MSI Z97 Gaming 5 - compatibility with other devices

[Manolis_1]

hello everybody,

I'm planning to build a new pc with the
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard.
From my internet research, I have found those parts that seems to be compatible with the mobo:

CPU i5 4590,

G.Skill Trident 16GB DDR3-2400MHz (F3-2400C10Q-16GTD)

Samsung 128GB SM951 MZHPV128HDGM-00000 Solid State Drive M.2 PCI-E SSD M.2 Bulk

and from my old pc (lga775) I will use the
psu crosair cx 430 &
graphics palit geforce gtx 750ti (untill I find more money & upgrade it)

What do You think about that system?
would it work normaly?

Thanks for your time and I'm looking forward for your replies.

Reguards!

The build seems pretty solid, i looked up your parts they should work together just fine. My only suggestion would be to maybe look at getting a little bigger power supply, especially if you are wanting to get a bigger graphics card in the future. All around though should be a good build for you! 😀

thanks for your reply!
my bigest doubt is the samsung M.2 cause I'm never before handle a m.2 drive & i'm realy afraid that risk!

I will wait for your oppinion

It all depends, being that its a newer thing there are bound to be a few headaches. If your going m.2 i would get this ( http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-950-256GB-PCIe-NVMe/dp/B015SOI392/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1454784457&sr=1-2&keywords=samsung+950 ) Its a little more pricey if you can fit it into the budget, but i have a friend that has one and it works amazing. He had a few issues with it not wanting to boot but i think that its his motherboard and not his drive. M.2 works and its lightning fast, I would say go for it and you get a 3 year warranty even on the one you posted.

Don't count on the DRAM to run at full 2400, it can often take an OC of the CPU to run 2400 and even 2133 - and you have a non-K CPU. Unless the 2400 is a great price, might consider 1866 or 2133 DRAM

that rams cost is a little less than 120euros. the point of thinking is that I could upgrade some things after a year!
I found that cpu 140e new & i think it is a good start!
thanks!

No worries Keep us updated

 

[Manolis_1]

my orders are on the way! I will update from my new pc when ready!

So yesterday arrived the last part (ram) & my system is ready!
Thank you for your replies!

the final build is:

mobo: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 (bios updated to latest)
cpu: CPU i5 4590,
ram: G.Skill Trident 16GB DDR3-2400MHz (F3-2400C10Q-16GTD)
storage: V-NAND ssd 950 PRO M.2
psu: crosair cx 430
graphics: palit geforce gtx 750ti
case: Zalman Z11 plus
OS: Win10 64

this was my first build from zero & everything was easy!
I use the bios XMP (default profile).
the system boots in 1or2 sec (MSI fast boot used).
Since yesterday I do not have notice something goes wrong! it is stable in 2400!
In my favorite games Battlefield hardline & call of dutty MW3 I can clearly see the deference.
I'm wayting for the photoshop's & illustrator's installation till next week to feel more!
the cpu temprature is about 31~45 degrees as the mobos lcd shows .

I'm sure that there is some improuvements to do but I do not know where to start!
first of all I would like to test my V-NAND 950 PRO speed just to understand how much better is than my old ssd.
let me share some infos from cpuZ with you:

mainboard: https://www.yogile.com/z0fsr5pn#08183016l
spd: https://www.yogile.com/z0fsr5pn#08183010l

there sould be some improovements.. what do you think?
