I'm planning on getting an i5 6600 CPU, and the MSI Gaming Z97 GAMING 5 looks like a great motherboard for me. When I found it on Newegg it said it was compatible with i5 cores, but PCPartPicker said the parts were not compatible. I'm just confused because the only reason it gave was their prices.
Will these work together?

No, the 6600 requires a socket 1151 mobo like the Z170-A.....the Z97 mobo you mention is an 1150 mobo for Haswell CPUs like a 4690
