I would get this mobo http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-h81me35v2

Because the one you picked might have problems with haswell refresh without bios update.

Other than that your build is good.

PSU is sketchy and for the same money as the 960 you can get a 280x or 290 for a bit more which I will both beat it

Check that the board supports USB flashing of the bios because haswell refresh

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

it's far from sketchy, it's good for that price.

How about you drop to a i5 4460 (still a very good processor) and get a r9 290 (a much better graphic card).

Is the BIOS update thing really something I have to worry about? If so, can I use this instead?

I have it lying around and I wouldn't want to waste money buying another when I can use this.

Yes that board will work fine without a bios update.
