Why the Micro ATX motherboard?

cheap and compact? is it not a good idea then?

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/WqQtK8 i would go like this, because stock cooler sucks ballz and with this mobo you can go crosfire and its overal better.

It's not compact since the case is still a mid tower. The parts are compatible but the matx motherboard in the mid tower is awkward.

Dominator Platiums are a waste of money for anything but looks. Ram is ram and there are cheaper 8GB kits available. 

What's the system being used for?

 

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

Yes I know the mobo will be a little awqwered in the case, however i dont mind that. The reason i went for a micro atx is because it is cheaper than the bigger boards. Also i am using my pc for gaming.

But you went for expensive Ram. The Corsair Dominator is totally unnecessary. I would go for a cheaper low profile kit.

 

Maybe something like this -  http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cml8gx3m2a1866c9r

 

You can then put the money towards a full size ATX board - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z97gaming3

 

Then swap the cpu for the current i5 - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54690k
