Well you got a motherboard and CPU that work together that's 1/2 the battle. The motherboard you chose uses a B85 Chipset, this model doesn't overclock and the memory speed max is DDR3-1600, so the DDR3-1866 will be clocked down to 1600. If you are paying extra for it you're wasting money. The hard drive you chose is a AV drive used for DVRs not really for running games. You could use the WD black 2TB drive the WD2002FAEX or the new model WD2003FZEX. I have no idea what the prices for these are in your area.
