Pretty good set up. I'm just not comfortable with the power supply. It could just be ATX V1.3 (lower efficiency than V2.01 and V2.2). I do not see any safety or global certification on the sticker label in here:

The processor heatsink may have a thermal pad or pre-applied thermal paste. Be sure to remove them and clean the surface well before you apply AS5.New to PC building %26amp; need some advice?
Drop the biostar motherboard. They are some of the cheapest made. Get an asus, they are very good.
The above answer states that the CPU thermal paste in not necessary. I would respectfully disagree. The paste helps with maximum contact and thus very much aids in cooling your CPU your CPU replacement will cost a lot more than a few bucks. Make sure you use a anti static strap or at least ground yourself on the boxes frame regularly. The static can kill your PC.
sounds good ........................... also look at www.geeks.com
I have only used ASUS motherboards, and love them so far, but the reviews for this product look pretty positive.





Not sure that you need the thermal paste stuff, as I did not need it when I bought my psu with included heatsink/fan.





Might save you a few bucks.





Other than that, looks like everything should fit together and be compatible.
