- Went the Intel route - check.
- Did not skimp out on PSU - check.
- Nice 560 ti video card - check.
Everything is compatible and good, it's just the overpriced Gigabyte board does not split into full 8x 8x when you eventually SLI the GTX 560 ti in a few months / years and that is a concern since you will lose performance ( some games don't scale well and at most you'll gain a 20% increase ).
My suggestion would be a MSI G43 Z77 board - it's a Z77 board but it splits into full 8x 8x which is ideal. It also has a nicer color scheme. The MSI board also has an 8pin CPU power connector compared to 4 so it can increase overclocks ( not applicable to i3-2120, but still good to have ).
Go for it.
