Hey PoshHobo. Yes, all of your components appear to be compatible. With that being said, I do see one factor that you may want to look consider.

- Rather than purchasing a GTX 750, I'd recommend investing in a GTX 950. The 950 will last you fairly longer. It will also perform significantly better; whether you're gaming, editing, or watching videos. Additionally, the optimization and support for the card will be noticeably better as time progresses and support for the GTX 750 diminishes. The 950 is around the same price as the 750 and can be found in the link below (1).

I glanced over the MSI website to ensure that all of your parts are supported by the motherboard. Everything seems to be compatible. You can find this website in the...

Your PSU wattage should definitely be sufficient. I quickly checked the following website (3) to confirm that your PSU can run each of your particular components.

I hope I helped. Have a great day :)
