Oh, that's a good board. I was trying to decide between that and the Asus mazimus vi hero in my build. I coughed up the extra $50 for Asus, but that was mainly just for aesthetics and some of the software it comes with. Go ahead and stick with that board.

If you aren't doing or planning on doing any hard core video editing and similar programs, get the i5 4670k instead. It offers the same gaming performance for $100 less. You also wont need 16 gigs of ram unless you do video editing. Get this kit instead:

Its low latency makes it preform better than alot of 1866MHz ram.

I would use the extra $ for an ssd to install windows on.
This one is great and not to pricey:

Besides that the build looks awesome. I would also try to use the money for a basic all in one like the H100i or H90i.
They are reliable and out preform air coolers hands down

ok, i just made an assumption form the title. It is a great build. As I mentioned in the last part an SSD for $100 would speed up your os and those essential programs. :)
