You'll want a socket AM2+ motherboard that supports the faster HT speeds of the quads.
 
Dump that junk power supply for a better quality one.
 
Everything else seems good.

Agreed!!!
 
Dump that POS Rosewill for a Silencer 610, it's more than enough power. It's a single rail with non modular cables, which IMO is the way to go. If you are paranoid, or are going to add a lot of components, then get the Silencer 750 Quad.
 
Do yourself a favor and read the reviews, although Newegg reviews aren't the best read them anyway.

I did read the reviews, those and putting the bigger 950W in a friends computer a month or 2 ago, without any failures, sold me on this one.  I appreciate the advice, and i thought rosewill was a pretty good brand.

Actually Rosewill is a really crappy brand, it's a tier 5 out of 5 "not recommended". I tried to warn you, good luck with it.

From what I know side fans mess up the airflow more than they help, you might want a different case, the Antec 900 is supposed to be good.
 
Also rosewill is a horrible PSU brand, this forum is littered with people who's rosewills are failing or have fried other components. Get a nice PC power & cooling or other top tier brand.
