BTW, for Mobo, you could choose GIGABYTE GA-MA770-UD3 instead
It doesn't really matter if you not OC.

P.S. These choice is purely based on you would CF, I would tends to select AMD 770 chipset if you're not running CF. And you could probably get a cheaper solid 500W PSU if you are not running multiple video card.

OMG thankyou,
btw i have a 5870 GPU, and 2 500gb HDDs, but im sure 500W is enough
