Those look like good parts. I don't recommend parts to other people because I hate it when people would recommend it to me. ![:p]( ":p")
I finished building my first one a couple of days ago and so far no problems with it. The seller who sold me the combo suggested that I put in the minimum for the system (depending on your OS 32 or 64bit) to check and see if everything works first before putting all the components in the case.
I took my time building it and made sure everything was fitted in the right way. I also tested everything before I put it in the case.
Good luck! I hope it will be exciting for you because it was for me.![:)]( ":)")

I always breadboard before I install components in the case.

Usually everything works right out of the box. Most of the time that it doesn't, it's either a stupid mistake or a problem with component selection.
Parts are by and large pretty good, especially from quality vendors.

Swap out that RAm for a cas 7 Corsair kit, or a g skill PI kit.
