Heres what I have so far. Would just like to know if there are any improvements to be made and make sure there are compatibility flaws, thank you Ill look forward to your support and advice.

if any improvements are to be made, I'd also like to keep the cost below 1250 but will stretch to 1500 if nessacery to improve performance in the long run.

That is an amazing build!.

The only thing i would change is the ram, instead of 8 gigs of 1333 ram, go with 4gigs of 1600 ram.

& + 8 Gigs of ram is way to much and will not be needed.
