Those are the main components im looking at. I'm trying to find a good Monitor too. But I'm not sure what to get I'm looking for a full 1080p monitor with a good refresh rate. I also need some insight on a cooling system for my cpu, I don't really want to go the liquid cooling route but if need be I will. Thanks in advance

You motherboard selected don't run the MHz of the memory you selected unless you do some very tricky over clocking, you can save some by just getting 1600MHz Memory. This would save you like $20-$30
