You need a Z series board to do some decent overclocking, otherwise you may as well get non K SKU chip.

You need a better, more powerful PSU.

I'd go with a WD Blue if you're just getting the one drive. The Red is more of a mass storage drive.

Yeah, for starters, get a Z board if your planning to OC.

Hi Igorella!

 

The WD Red hard drive you've chosen is especially designed for NAS/RAID systems and environments. Depending on the purpose of the drive I would suggest something else. If this is a gaming rig, as it looks like, you could take a look at the WD Black – a maximum performance hard drive for gaming.

Also, you will need more PSU, especially if you're going to OC! Make it 550W-600W. The RAM is good as 8GB and manufacturer, make sure its 2x4 GB. If you have the opportunity, make the RAM even 16 GB (2x8 GB).

Everything else seems fine.
