You really should tell what you will be using it for.
Is it going to be a rig that will sit in a corner, mining coins?
If so, you're going very much overboard with the CPU. Get the slowest i3 you can get.
I do agree with the motherboard. That MSI board is a Military Class III certified board, and is arguably one of the best ones on the market when it comes to quality.
I would advise against using a liquid cooler system if you are only going to cool the CPU with it.
There is much more on the motherboard, especially close around the CPU, that will benefit from sufficient airflow.
The voltage regulators in particular would prefer a bit of a breeze.
Many people have had prematurely burned out motherboards because they took away the airflow around the CPU, allowing the voltage regulators to overheat and burn out.
If you're going to use the machine for everyday tasks, you really should consider adding an SSD as primary harddrive.
Reviews say they are fast, other people (including me) say they are fast, but you really need to see what they can do.
Trust me when I say that they will blow your mind.
Your current GPU should do somewhere between 70 and 100Mh/s, depending on the type, used miner software and wether you are going to overclock it.
When it comes to mining with GPU's: It may not be dead, but it's also not something that will generate a profit.
Just forget about profit and do it to support Bitcoin, in hopes it eventually becomes a valid currency.
The only thing you can do when mining on GPU's is getting something that will provide the most megahashes per watt of electricity.
This will keep the cost for your mining hobby to a minimum.
The powersuply is kind of overkill for that setup. If you are only going to run a single GPU, you may want to consider something around 600watts. Should be more than enough for that setup.
Okey, thanks for the good info....Is it going to be a rig that will sit in a corner, mining coins?

So if I just have to pay like $20 for power, I still don't make profit ?
