UPDATE: Will this work?

[Thanosnic]

So, this is an update on a previous post I made on the forum. ( http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/486569-will-this-work/ ) where I asked if a build was in fact functional. I'm still preety new at this thing and I find the help provided by the community here very valuable. Anyway, since that post I've made some improvements to that buildand ended up with this. (To those who are too bored to check out my previous post i mentioned that I'll be gaming at 1080p and I'll be playing games such as CSGO) My budget is around 700€ and this build costs just below that. What I want to know is if this will work and if i should make any improvements. (Suggestions accepted and encouraged  )

 

Thanks.

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB (3.5" SATA III) No need for a link. We all know and love this one.

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Blue 8GB (Kit 4GBx2) (Kingston sucks and only has a pdf with the specs http://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX316C10FK2_8.pdf) P.S. I dont know the difference between the blue and the black model. Let me know if its just the color or what.)

Case: Zalman Z9 U3: (http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=493 Scroll down for specs)

 

Don't pay attention to the cost of each component. I've already taken care of that. I just need to know if this works.

(P.S. Damn this took a long ass time to write.)

It will work but I reckon you should change the motherboard and GPU. Maybe this is better suited?

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. While I am considering the motherboard the GPU is totally out of the question. Anyway, besides the size, what else does the motherboard offer in comparison with the one I mentioned? Thanks.

It offers a newer chipset. Otherwise, you can just keep the B85 - it's just a matter of preference. Can I ask why the 380 is out of the question? Massive performance improvement over the 950 considering the price gap.
