I would change to 1866 CAS 9 Ram, and I would change the SSD to a crucial MX100 also, and I really like ASUS motherboards too! But the ASUS is just personal preference, ASRock is good too.

That PSU is no good, it doesn't use Japanese capacitors, and if you are going to spend all that money on those components might as well get something of good build and performance. I wouldn't want a crappy PSU exploding and killing my components IMHO!
