Does it look like a everything is compatible. Should I do anything differant to achieve better price/performance.

If you're not gonna CF/SLI, 550W is enough power.

Probably much later in life, so for now I can make the change. Thanks

I would spend less on the motherboard, but it fits your budget so I would build.

The motherboard does have wifi and onboard 7.1 surround sound. I wasn't sure if i should go that route or motherboard + wifi card + sound card. The single motherboard did seem the cheaper way to go than buy seperate.

All motherboards have sound cards in them, so it is not as big a deal as it looks like.
