Looking to budget build.

What kind of rig are you trying to make? is this a gaming rig?

If it is. It looks decent but I would maybe look at changing the board for the MSI M7. Seems to have better overclocking, it's geared more towards that then your selected board. However, they are basically the same in specs.

Also I would change out the video card. R9s are kinda getting out classed out nowadays. They are outdated. But as you said, future upgrade path.

And for sure go with an SSD.
