Hi. First, that processor is for a notebook and not a desktop. This is a good one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504. AS for the Motherboard, it's fine, but this is a bit better for an additonal $5 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157297. The one thing I didn't see was a hard drive for storage. Unlike a lot, you did get a good quality Power supply and that is probably the most important aspect. You can use the stock cooler that comes with the processor, but if at some point you want to try Over Clocking you will need to gat a third party cooler. The case was a good chocie. Has a good cooling solution out of the box, as wel as plenty of options down the road.
