This is the first time i've ever built my own computer, i've spent many hours lurking the forms here and i think i know just enough now to be dangerous.

TLDR: will these components work together if i don't *** up the installation? / is there better hardware for my money?

You could save yourself ALOT of money by going with the i5-2500k and a standard ATX motherboard. You could probably save so much in fact you could afford to shove Crossfire 6970's in! (850w PSU recommended though, or 600w for a single card).

Also, there's no point filling all of your RAM slots with 2GB sticks. Just run 2x4GB sticks in dual channel so you have room to add more if its ever required.

mainly a gaming / low end video and music editing build.

went with the more expensive motherboard for the built in sound card, memory compatibility, and usb ports

in that case get a z68 with a 2500k which would have nearly the same performance for a lower price, plus you can use quick sync in on the z68
