THe build looks good and I just dropped that Motherboard into an FX-6300 build for a friend and I love it. But as previously stated, you certainly need at least 8 GB of ram. If you do heavy rendering and animation then I strongly encourage 16GB

Thank you to both of you. I forgot to mention that I will start with 4gb of ram to get started ASAP and test the system. After I see that everything is working and once I get my next paycheck I do plan to add a second 4gb chip to get 8gb of dual channel memory. Once again thank you both for the quick and helpful responses :)
