It should be fine. I've been looking at building almost the exactly same system (the MSI m-atx board & 2 hd as the only differences.) The 5750 pulls about 14W Idle 85W full load. from the SPCR Review of the I5 you're looking at about 108W max on the i5 so your system draw at peak load is going to be somewhere in the vicinity of 200W.

You will want to get the Noctua U12P SE2 instead, since you will need Socket 1156 support. IIRC the SE1366 doesn't have it.
