Hi
you say you don't want your PC to overheat, but mobo and cpu are made for overclocking and this means increased temperatures. Do you really plan to overclock? If not then, that total price can be reduced notably...

That all looks good. You don't need the extra thermal compound as the Hyper 212 includes stuff that's better than Arctic Silver so you're wasting money there. You also don't need 16GB of RAM for a gaming rig - drop that to 8GB. I'd suggest a different SSD as well - maybe go with a Plextor PX-M3 or Samsung 830.

will overclock but will be more of an everyday O/C nothing to extreme

What for you gonna use PC? If for gaming then you can save money, by getting 8GB ram and not so expensive mobo.

I have that same motherboard - it's fine. No reason to go cheaper or you'll start losing features.
