Er..... Slight problem there is that the CPU you have choosen will not work with that Motherboard in a month of Sunday's. The CPU is desgined for the Intel LGA 1155 Socket where as the Motherboard is designed for the AMD AM3+ Socket.

I think the rig is very unbalanced and could do with some work and could be improved, what would the rig be used for mainly (I have it that its meant to be a gaming PC)?
