First problem: The motherboard is the wrong socket type, you have an 1155 mobo and a 1150 cpu
2nd problem: you do not need ECC server memory, it is a waste of money if this isnt a server
3rd: you could probably do with a better power supply.

Are you dead set on an intel build? For your budget, an AMD build typically work out better. Also is this for gaming or some other usage? Located in the US? Total Budget (I am guessing $650)?

Edit: do you have a microcenter near you?

What do you suggest me on an AMD build? I don't plan on running games on Ultra settings, high settings is enough for me.. When I save, I plan my budget to be approx $800. Suggest me everything you can, thanks.

I want it to be for gaming for the main part, and the gtx 750 seems similar to my view, but i'll consider that, thanks!

- GPU - r9 270 is a really good gpu, you could change this to a gtx 750ti if you prefer Nvidia but you would lose power. either hte gtx 750 ti or the r9 270 would be much better than the gtx 650
