It is very obvious no if u really did google and check the spec to compare.
This is MSI Z77 G43

Ok, enough of spoon feed, pls use google to check them by yourself. It is your responsibility to do survey instead of me.

Spec ok, price ok, no bottleneck.
750W and above PSU is suggested if u plan to do multi-gou setup later on.

Are you going to OC the CPU? Hyper 212X doesn't provide enough cooling power if you OC, unless it is minimal OC.

Become like this...

Its a heat sink with fan. I suggest you use stock cooler first, then you slowly explore how to OC and stuff, then only you invest on better cooler.

So the CM Hyper 212X CPU Cooler is a stock cooler?

no its not, stock cooler come free with the processor.

Err no. Stock cooler is the one that comes along with your Intel CPU.

I'm confused guys . I'm getting the new processor with has a said stock cooler . Then what about the CM Hyper 212X CPU Cooler . Total two coolers? Sorry for asking newb questions

The CPU already comes with a cooler. And you bought another cooler (Hyper 212X), so you have 2 cooler.

I suggest you use the cooler that comes with the CPU first, don't buy the Hyper 212X. After you explored more on OC, then you can invest more money on better cooler.
