I am planning to place my order around the end of August and until then, I want to finalize my selections (if possible), unless something else come out on the market. In the exception of the Video card most of the other components look solid to me but want your opinion in case I made a mistake and something is not compatible with the other. Thank you in advance for your review.

If u not plannig future CF/SLI a mobo with 970 chipset will be enough(Asus m5a97 evo r2.0 for example). U wont need 16GB ram, 8GB will be enough for anything.
But what counts as production? Microsoft Word? Video editing? Audio encoding?
