Great motherboard for overclocking, and has excellent onboard sound. CPU can be overclocked if needed in the future. Gave you an SSD and HDD, though you could probably downgrade the SSD to the evo version to save some money. The power supply is made by Seasonic, very high quality. The case, personal preference, I like working with Corsair cases, easy to build in, high quality.
You could also optionally cut out the SSD, and invest in an even stronger GPU like a R9 290X or a 780 for example.
