The motherboard is fantstic and one of the best Z77 overclocking available.

Your cooling though looks a bit weak for such a beast of a board.

Lastly your RAM is only 1333Mhz rated, you want faster ideally.

DaleTheWhale · 11 Apr 2013 at 10:36

What is your budget for this and what is it being used for?

If you got the cash, Samsung do some lovely very low-profile RAM that is also Black and is well known to overclock like a beast despite their 1600Mhz rating.
