Will this Mobo + CPU combo work?

[JapesFaw]

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to check that this Mobo and CPU will work together and that the Mobo will fit in my case, parts are as follows:

- MSI H81M-E35 Intel Motherboard - Socket 1150
- Intel Boxed Core i3 4330 - 3.50GHz Dual Core Processor - Socket 1150
- Cooler Master N500 ATX Chassis

Also, what are your thoughts on the Mobo and CPU, would they be a good buy? I'm going to be running them with 8gb RAM and an MSI R9 270 Gaming 2gb GPU.

Everything is compatible
i3 4330 is supported by the mobo from the first BIOS

the case supports ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX motherboards - yours is mATX

the processor is good

Yes, everything is compatible.

I would recommend this motherboard: ASUS H97M-E

The CPU is good, although the i3-4360 is just 5 more bucks with 200 more MHz.
As for the RAM, just check the speed and I would try to get 1600MHz or higher, even though it usually doesn't make a difference. Your video card will do just fine. However, I will recommend the Corsair Graphite 230T Case, since I have heard Cooler Master cases have bad build quality and have broken a few times. Yes. all of these components will fit both your case and my case.
