I'm not sure if that is a good chose of motherboard. Please feel free to comment and make suggestions on the overall build. Thanks

If memoryexpress is reliable then that is a pretty good deal. Everyone else is priced $25 more though. Otherwise you're going to have to look for a i5-3350P. Your price list doesn't include shipping so there's cheaper memory after shipping on newegg. Like G.Skill Ripjaws 2x4GB. I think you're also going to want a bigger SSD if you're going to hold onto this one for another 6 years.
