Build check

[Cookiecrumbles222]

Hay guys i'm working on a pc built for music editing and some csgo gameplay on the side. This is it http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jdDT6h i wanted to know what would be a good mobo for it and if the rest of the build is good. Thanks for the help guys. P.S. if you know of a better cpu that could be fit in with keeping the price close to $700 that be great.

This is on newegg Canada so it should be even cheaper in the States and it fits your budget:

What do you do with 16GB of RAM? I know my parents don't need that much RAM, they can get away with half.
