Looks nice. Since you're not exactly on a budget, consider lower latency ram. It carries a premium but its of much nicer quality.

Don't forget a heatsink, too. Some say that the stock heatsink can OC okay, but if you're building from scratch, you might as well install and aftermarket cooler now, since one day you will want to.
