Hello, I'm trying to see what you all think of all these parts I'm getting ready to order for my first time build. Are these all compatible with each other? I don't want to go over $1400. I am also trying to keep the red and black color theme and a fully modular PSU. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I'm going to be using this solely for gaming. I do also plan on overclocking but I'm going to wait until I get an aftermarket CPU cooler for that.

Ok thanks, I'm going to switch the RAM and take a look at the XFX PSU's.

Do you think the ASUS motherboard is a lil' too much? Should I only get that board if I plan on overclocking to hell?

You have any recommendations for a good board? I'm not planning on doing SLI in the near future or anything and OC wise it will come but it's not going to be major OC or anything.
