Card will be a MSI 5700

Greetings,
The only thing I can really comment on is the RAM, try to go for 3600, preferably at CL16 if you can for the increased performance. You don't have a power supply selected. For the GPU a 500-550W is recommended, based on whether it's the XT. I would probably go 650. Invest in a good quality unit, Corsair RMx, Seasonic, EVGA supernova.
With the board, the Crosshair is excellent board for overclocking. You're purchasing a 360MM AIO so I assume you intend to overclock. Looks like a good build overall. -
Thanks for the help I am using a Corsair RM 850x power supply off my current build with a MSI 5700 XT vid card. I plan on updating the vid card when AMD launches the Navi cards. The only part that I get hung up on is the RAM. So many options and I am not the expert by far on overclocking. If someone could link the RAM they would use as a suggestion that would help in my build. Trying to make a build to last another 5 years of gaming and 3D drafting.

The Corsair RM will be just fine. Here's a few links for RAM. Prefer the Ripjaw for the better CAS Latency but it is a bit more.
