Where are you buying from?

-I would suggest changing the motherboard. The LE R2.0 is not meant for overclocking since it lacks VRM heatsinks. I would try to go for a 990FX chipset. The cheapest 990FX board are the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 and the Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0

Everything else looks fantastic. If this is a gaming rig, the GTX 650 ti is a bit out of place. I would recommend trying to sell it and getting a stronger gpu.
