Looks good although I'd get the MAX version of that board since it ships with a newer BIOS that supports the 3600 out of the box. With that version of the board you'll more then likely be required to do the CPU-less BIOS flash.

This would be good for the price as well.

Your welcome, I added in a build as well with more storage and a better GPU for a bit cheaper.
