This is my build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Zombeh/saved/VYfV3C

I wanted to know if I should change anything, to make it better.
it will be used for gaming mostly arma 3, minecraft, dayZ. this games require a lot of CPU usage and I'm planning to use it a lot. almost all day. I have a friend who's CPU fried so I wanted to know if the CPU cooler is enough to keep it running for a while without frying anything.

I will only be using it for gaming, rendering for youtube, watching videos and just normal stuff I dont think I will ever overclock as long as it doesnt automatically over clock

The mobo needs to have F5 of the BIOS on it to support that CPU. If it isnt on it when you get it its not going to go

If it doesnt go, the only thing you can do to fix it is to go to a shop and ask them to flash it with a cpu it supports first.

Or you'll have to buy a cpu it supports first then flash it. Then put this CPU back in.

The mobo is compatible with the CPU, but the right BIOS HAS to be on it to support it

Can you link me to a new motherboard that will work? I don't know what you mean by BIOS

The BIOS is like the brain. Without it a PC is nothing. Its where you go to setup whats installed like hdds etc

Theres too many mobos to choose from. To find out which one will work. You'll probably have to update the BIOS anyway. It wont matter what you get
