Drop the GSKILL memory and go with Corsair Vengeance 1.5V DDR3 1600

Get the Asus Z68 board, or Gigabyte Z68, or MSI Z68 in that order

Storage Drive, stick with a Western Digital Cavair black, faster and better warranty.

I prefer the Intel 510 SSD's . Have used quite a few and have had zero problems.

For a gaming rig you got too much CPU and not enough GPU!

Seagates are not very reliable from my experience.
