Hello,

CPU = Good choice
Graphics = ASUS, Yes, Gigabyte - The SOC version i believe has had some problems.
Mobo = Fine
RAM = The motherboard you listed is Dual Channel, not tripple. So ideally look for 8GB RAM 2X4GB sticks
Case = Fine
Cooler = Hyper 212+ or Arctic Freezer 7 Rev.2 might be cheaper better options
PSU = Not heard of NOX before so i cant comment on reliability. Generally brands such as Corsair, XFX, SeaSonic, Antec, OCZ are recommended.

Items you haven't listed:
Optical Drive = ?
Hard Drive (HDD) = ? (Samsung SpinPoint F3 7200rpm 1TB recommended)

Your choice for RAM should either be 2 X 2GB or 2 X 4 GB. I'd recommend the 8 GB as it is probably an advantage in yuour apps other than games.
Are you interested in a SSD; it will improve performance at boot and with many apps.

And the what brand would you guys recommend for the ram?

Optical Drive, i'll not need 😉
Hard Drive (HDD), i was thinking in get an Seagate Momentus TX 500Gb and a small cheap SSD to the OS

 

[AdrianPerry]

Corsair is the general choice when it comes to RAM.

1.5v, 1600MHz, Dual Channel DDR3

Nice, tks =)
Maximus IV Gene-Z iZ68 vs GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 (here is cheaper something like $30) =) ?

Drop that Gene board, get the D3H. The Gene-Z is so overpriced, all ROG's are really. They "perform" decently but cheap boards can do what they do now specially with the 32nm fab.
