But also i would get rid of the mouse and keyboard and get a WD blue 1TB for mass storage since 120gb isnt going to leave you much room after OS install

cheers Buddie and your build is sweet if i must say. yeah if you do go for a new Mobo You would need to consider Ram and a cpu that is compatible for the mobo. ddr3 low voltage is supported but that is down to the mobo if it supports such features the 15 6500 is a steal, i recommend this

Well sorry but I just couldnt see that you have 4tb of storage, I was just mentioning it since i didnt think 120gb ssd would be enough, Since you have stoarage then yeah its perfectly fine.
