sounds good, make sure ur ram is the same socket as ur motherboard. Or else those 2gs will be a waste. And with this good build, do u want a video card? Or you might have 1. But it sounds good, motherboard and cpu matches up.. O make sure ur motherboard has the right socket for ur psu. If u look at pictures on ur psu u should see the prongs, itll either be 20, 24 or 20+4 so just make sure that ur motherboard is 20 or 24.. but sounds good!

I didnt see a video card in there so if your going to be playing games or doing graphics on it get an nvidia cause thats more reliable with that mother board type.. sure you knew all that though..
