For the price, that's a pretty solid build. My only suggestion would be if you wanted more performance consider an Intel i5 combo. It wouldn't be that much more money and it would greatly improve your PC.

i would want the 2500k if i got the intel. but dont have the cash for it. amd should be fine though. also the board i have chosen seems to be out of stock now. do you have any recommendations for another one?

Better board if you intend on keeping a single GPU
