The motherboard and processor won't work together. The motherboard needs to be LGA 1150. Also, where are the PSU and hard drives?

HI, My hard drive is a Western Digital Blue 1TB and my PSU is a Corsair CX Series 600 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V/EPS12V 552 Power Supply CX600M.

 

Regarding the Mobo and the CPU should i get another MOBO or another Cpu?

Different motherboard. Get an ASUS Z87M-PLUS.

One more point to this. If you are going to overclock in future, get K version of 4770. Otherwise don't bother getting Z87 board. H87 will have same features as Z87 but you can't change clock multiplier. It will have hyperthreading which auto-ocs 4770 to 3.9GHz.
