Right off the start the only big thing I think is worth mentioning is your CPU. I don't know if you do a lot of heavy processing or video rendering, but the 2500k is plenty for just gaming. You may want to consider saving yourself the bit of money and lowering down the the 2500k instead of the 2600k.

Apart from that most of the stuff looks good to me.

sorry what i meant to say was part i wont ever rely use to full capacity such as ElysianWhip

said the 2500k is fine for just gaming and so i would have little need to get the 2600k and thanks for the tip on the ram like i said this is my first build and this is all more or less new to me
