First build (Just wanted a checkup)

Hi so I have been looking over this for most of the day to make sure that everything will work and before I hit the final checkout I'd like to get a second opinion on it to make sure that everything is kosher.

Thanks

I don't care for Coolermaster power supplies or G.skill ram. I also prefer Asus monitors with LED backlights.

If you are building a gamer, a 6 core processor is a waste - get a fast quad core.
