The motherboard you picked is a bit old, and only has support for PCIe 2.0. This could be a problem, as the graphics card you selected is pretty high level, and would work better in a PCIe 3.0 slot. Everything else looks pretty good though.

Just another suggestion though, Go with less cores on your CPU. It looks better to have 8 cores, but in reality unless you run about 15 programs at the same time it makes no difference. What you really want is a higher clock speed.
