I've selected some parts already and was wondering if anyone has a better recommendation part wise. Mostly I'm unsure of the difference between motherboard chipsets and features. My last build I mostly got by on luck but with this one I want the best within my budget.

I'd fix your build like this : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/13xw2

Better PSU ( grab it quick, there's a deal ATM ) plus better motherboard ( 2x more phases in power design ompared to the Asrock one ( 8+2 vs 4+1 ), which will serve your CPU and your desire to OC better for sure ). Price remains the same.
