How does my gaming rig look?

[majneeds2chill]

I've never built a PC before, and am excited to get started. I picked some parts that look good to me. I'm pretty sure all the parts are compatible and am wondering if this setup will give me the best bang for what I'm paying for it. It will be multipurposed, though I'll be calling it a gaming rig. How does it look? Here's the parts:

I'd go back and take a look that the ram as that is intel specific, make sure that it's on the MB QVL LIST

@norcalsc thank you; I'll check on that. Other than this, does this build look solid for $900?

You might consider spending a little less on that RAM and a little more on the PSU. I'd be looking for gold or better. General rule of thumb is - the better the standard, the better quality the PSU is overall.
There are exceptions, but this is generally the case.
I think this would be a slightly better option.

Unless you're going to power large, low impedance speakers directly off your motherboard, you won't need 750W. I overclock a 980Ti, 4SSD RAID, 32G of ram, 2 HDDs, ethernet, and a whole bunch of accessories off a 550W PSU with plenty of headroom to spare.

Also, you're getting a killer CPU and putting it in an average MB. Consider sacrificing 2 cores for a much better motherboard, or just spending a bit more for a better MB. I like the CPU, but not putting it in that MB.

Memory speed is not as important for gaming as some make it out to be. Blazing memory speed is not going to compensate for a lackluster motherboard, or slower CPU. For gaming, I think your GPU pick is excellent for your budget.

And now for the hard part. If you wait till September, new CPU lines and chipsets will be coming out and that should reduce the cost of older stuff. Problem is, this is the case.... always. If you wait forever, things will always get cheaper.
