Here is the build I'm considering purchasing. I'm hoping to place the order within the next week. I was wondering if this looks like a good build, and making sure that all the components will work together. As stated this will mainly be used for audio production and gaming. Any input is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply! I will definitely take a look into the PSU you recommended. I do have a high quality audio interface already that I will be using for the audio card. Also here are the fixed links to the components below.
