I was going to buy everything from Newegg to make the shipping and the everything else easier even though it might be cheaper with multiple suppliers. I also know that every mobo comes with ethernet. I usually game over LAN even though ethernet might be a tad bit better

Also why choose that CPU over the one that I had in my PcPartPicker

Change the PSU to at least 600w one. Not sure about Zotac, would either get EVGA: http://goo.gl/VW6HBX
or Gigabyte: http://goo.gl/aUh0hQ
And lastly, the motherboard: http://goo.gl/p4Byws
Good luck!

May I ask why I should choose EVGA or Gigabyte over Zotac when they sell the same GPU cheaper? Also I think 600W is pretty overkill when my system doesnt use 400 or more W.

I think Zotac is a decent brand, up where Nvidia is imo

Yes, it is a decent brand, but EVGA is more trusted, and price is 201.98 on newegg for both GPU's.

Buying a high wattage PSU is never bad, considering that you might need more power for your upgrades. Plus you need to keep in mind that as the ages go, PSU's power gets worn out, so in a year or two you will have less that 430w.
