Looks OK compatibility wise. maybe Coolernaster hyper 212 evo cooler instead? Get a good power supply - something from Seasonic - their own brand or XFX or some Antec eg HCG 620M. Windows 8 confuses me. I like Windows 7 better. Weird case and ram brands

Highly not recommended. First off, change the CPU cooler to a CM Hyper 212 EVO for much better cooling performance for the same price. Secondly, upgrade the RAM to at least DDR3-1600 (Preferably 1866MHz for performance) by either G. Skill (Sniper) or Corsair (Vengance/Vengeance Pro). Thirdly, don't skimp and go cheap on the power supply. Get a SILVERSTONE Strider Plus ST50F-P Power supply, as if the PSU fails (and cheap ones do all the time) it will break other components.
