Motherboard you can go cheaper on.

CPU you should get piledriver that is MUCH improved.

RAM, get 2 stick instead of one so that you can run Dual CHannel. 2 of these :

XFX is not great(cheap VRM on the HD7xxx series) and a little overpriced these days. This is better :

And lastly but the most important, DO NOT get that power supply you are getting with that chassis, its junk. You are gona have to spend a little more for a more reliable power supply.
