They're compatible, but I'd make some changes.

For one, that motherboard won't overclock very well - so if overclocking is an important criteria to you, you'll need a more expensive one.

I'd change that PSU for an XFX 450W - Powercool aren't very good.

Also, it's better to use 2 x 4gb RAM modules rather than 1 x 8gb module.

I would also get a WD Caviar Black instead of that Barracuda, but that'll be more expensive.

Id agree with everything above, apart from the hard drive switch. Caviar Black isn't necessary, i dont mean this in a rude way :)

But if in the future i wanted to have 16gb ram should i keep the 1 x 8gb so i can just add another 1 x 8gb?
