Without looking at the components in full detail. I would say that you make sure that you get 2133 RAM, as your MoBo can take it. And make sure you get 64-bit Windows 7. And make sure your MoBo and HDD are both 6.0Gb/s or 3.0Gb/s, but I would recommend 6.

Other than that, I don't see any problems, but I'm not a genius at this yet. Nor do I work with Intel or Geforce very much.

that is a storage drive, using it as the main/boot drive isn't going to go fast, along with loading a level/map will be slower, this is a much better hdd, along with being 6gb/s, and you can purchase a second later or a second now and raid them to create closet to 12gb/s, idk which raid it is but 1 splits the info into like 512kb packs and sends 1 to first, second to second, so can pull and send faster than just using 1 port
