Is everything in my new build in sync with it's mobo?

I was worried about the ram and the video card with this mobo, does all this make sense together?

It looks pretty good to me. However, why do you need a 2TB hard drive and why 16GB memory? What is your budget and what are the intended uses for the computer? You could save a little money on those two items if you don't really need that much hard drive space or memory.

You also might consider an aftermarket CPU Cooler such as this, especially if you intende to oveclock: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065

absolutely will do but, would I have to also bu that thermo-paste stuff for that fan to be connected to the processor?

would I need anymore fans?

Ah, that explains why you need so much memory and hard drive space. You should consider going with an i7 Ivy Bridge CPU such as one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007671%2050001157%20600005573%20600315409&IsNodeId=1&name=Ivy%20Bridge and getting a z77 motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293.

Yes, you would need some thermal paste. I use Artic Silver http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007
