Hello, I think is better to change the mobo, in internet I readed many post where talk to MSI is very bad and he make defects. I think is better to buy ASUS or Gigabyte mobo. The memory 32GB for gaming is too much 2x8GB is enought. The gpu too AMD on Intel based configuration I don't think is good idea, is better to buy nVidia GTX970 or GTX980 if you have enought money. Another I think is good.

That's too much memory, bump it down to 8 GB. You can always add an extra 8 GB for a total of 16 later on should you choose to.

Your processor could also be reduced to an i5, you'd be saving yourself $140 which you can put towards a better graphics card.

I visited the site but couldn't find the exact model you were building, could you give me the link? I haven't had any experience with PC builders myself but I'm sure they add in all sorts of expensive stuff you probably won't need plus extra costs. Might wanna consider just buying the parts yourself - you get extra choice as well?
