Don't worry I'm here to help! Unlike all these other jerks :P jk Here's a couple suggestions though that will actually give you parts that match your motherboard and will make your build look really good and perform really well. I changed your PSU to something very good quality and fully modular to help even more with cable management. I also changed a lot of the places you'd be buying from in order to avoid as many of those pesky rebates as possible.

This one drops the optical drive (you can always buy an external one later if you actually need it but most people don't) and has a really nice case that matches your build with a nice big window to show it off. It's not necessary but it's something you'll surely be proud of. I also added an SSD to this build for your OS/apps since you'll save money with the new case and removal of the optical drive it will be completely worth it, you won't regret it at all.
