Should be OK, I'd want a better mobo (I won't build on MSI), I haven't used any, but would prob want better than the OCZ PSU also

Thanks for the response! What would you recommend as alternatives? Id like the PSU to be Fully Modular and atleast 550w.

Asus M5A97 R2.0 or GB GA-970A-D3P or for a bit more up to the Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 990 chipset - any thoughts on adding a second GPU?

Im not really in the budget for a second GPU, I like the GB Motherboard though I might go with that. I've been talking with a bunch of friends who built theirs and I think I know where Im headed now.
