A few things:

1) AMD Processors, while cheaper, are out preformed by Intel of much lower clock speeds. Check the benchmark tests on various games, and see if they live up to your standards.

This is my most serious example. While it isn't your exact processor, the Intel core at 3.19GHz BEAT the AMD core at 3.8GHz.

2) 4 GB of Ram is a tad small, you could always benefit from a another 2 or 4 GB. At the very least build it with 4 GB, then see if its enough.

3) I don't know the code for the RAM or Motherboard, so make sure the RAM is on the approved list for the Motherboard.

4) If you plan to go for Cross Fire, you need a much larger power supply. Even if you don't, you might want to go larger.

http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx

Put your components into that, and it will tell you the smallest power supply you could get away with, and then add 50 watts to that.

5) I don't know the brand of NovaTech, but check the reviews. With power supplies, you want good brands, as they will test the power output in more stressful conditions, ones that are more likely to be in your computer

Feel free to PM or reply if you have any other questions
