you put the processor name under the motherboard. You need way better power supply then the one you have, i have never even heard of that psu maker. you should change your memory to a better memory brand same goes with your ssd and optical drive. what is your budget? is this mainly going to be for gaming? do you consider intel for processor?

This is the build i put together mainly from the parts you mentioned and i changed the ones that needed to be changed to a better one...in euros this build comes to around 1450 euros...if its mainly going to be for gaming and very little programming you can drop the ram to 8gb. If not a lot of overclocking will be done you can go for much cheaper motherboard and the case you chose its a good case but you can get one that is much cheaper if you are on a tight budget
