I need help and advice on my first build

I have put together a parts list for my first build but I need some more help and advice on what people think and whether anyone can see any problems.

Also could we focus on the motherboard and could I get some recommendations on a good motherboard that is compatible with my parts list.

My budget is now around £850 mark.

 

Thank you.

Good build, I don't see any problems.

Edit: Please get a better motherboard, one with a USB 3 header.

Thanks for your reply, and the motherboard that is in my parts list has a USB 3 header doesn't it?

So overall would you say this is a good build? and can you think of any improvements at all without a big added cost?

 it's a great build but it have 2 issue:

1- get a better cpu cooler AIO liquid cooler like CM 120M or Corsair H60 (compatible with your case)

2- the case isn't well ventilated (had a single 120mm led fan at the back) try to get at least 2 120mm fans in the front (if possible with red leds) and if you want 2 others on the side (with red leds too) try CM Sickle-Flow they're great
