That board is stupidly priced. Also the board should be a Z97 model. Ram should be 2x4gb for dual channel. Not a good idea to run a single stick, unless you are using a motherboard with only two ram slots. That PSU is a Tier 3 unit, stick to tier 1 and tier 2. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html You will want some kind of aftermarket cooling, so you can overclock.

I would suggest a cheaper case and keyboard but really they are personal preferances. I changed the fairly expensive WD black drive for a cheaper hitachi and pny ssd combo.
