Everything you have picked is compatible but I would make a few changes.

Here are some suggestions, You should look for a better case with cable routing holes to allow you to route cables through the back and clean up airflow. You absolutely NEED to change the PSU, I would reccommend going with a reputable brand like seasonic, corsair or coolermaster. I would also reccommend going with a PSU that is atleast 80+ certified but ideally 80+ bronze certified and above.

thanks a lot for the suggestions. I wil use them shorty 

Thanks for replying :)

The build looks great. However, like Bacondrinker said, you NEED to switch out the PSU to something from a reputable brand. This XFX PSU should do the trick.

I would suggest going to a higher wattage psu amd cpu's are known for their high power consumption. I would go about 50 watts higher. try 600 watts.

and like they said go with a well known brand name.

Yeah get at least a 600W PSU for overclocking. As for the case, I own that CoolerMaster Elite 430. Not the best for cable management. Data cables will fit through the holes provided but power cables wont fit. Still a good case. If you want better cable management for around the same price, try looking for an NZXT case. All their cases have big enough holes for cable management: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/case/#sort=a6&qq=1&m=94

thanks, you gave me lots of options for my new case. I heard the cable managment is not great. 

Love the list :)
