Hello Johnny. I have the same CPU in my custom build and it is an amazing processor; quite fast, very reliable and it runs quite cool on my system with average temps idling between 12 and 25 degrees celcius (even in the heat of summer) and even cooler than that in the winter (my room is like an incinerator in the summer and a meat locker in winter, due to a lack of insulation in the walls). Even under load while playing a game (ie ME 3 with all settings at max) it barely hits 40 degrees and cools right down within seconds.
If you're in the market for a very good mid-range video card that is very reasonably priced, I would recommend the GTX 760 Dual FTW (pref. 4 GB, but you could get away with the 2 GB version a well) from EVGA. EVGA is Nvidia's go-to company and has been for nearly 20 years or more. Gigabyte is also very good and on par (in terms of quality/reliability) with EVGA. Between the two it is simply a matter of preference.
If you're looking for good quality, reliable RAM...my two top choices would be G Skill (in particular their RIP Jaws X or Z series) or Mushkin (though mushkin is expensive). My third choice would be a tie between Corsair or Crucial (both come highly recommend from many different companies and Magazines) and also have each received very good independent ratings and reviews.
For a motherboard I would recommend EVGA (if you can find them they are excellent...but can be difficult to find and depending on the seller, expensive. my other choice for a main board would be Gigabyte. Gigabyte is actually the best-selling motherboard brand world-wide. ASUS, while they were excellent mb manufacturers in the 90s for every reason under the sun, many will tell you that they have fallen off their pedestal. While here in North America ASUS does have good marketing, in real terms of quality/reliability etc (good ol fashion values), they have greatly lagged behind many competitors. Not to mention that the market for ASUS is really only in North America. Europe has been dominated by Gigabyte and MSI (to a lesser extent). The thing to watch out for if considering Gigabyte is their pricing; most boards are very cheap (between 60 and 180.00 dollars) while there are a very select few models that are quite expensive (300 to 400 dollars)...so I guess what I'm saying is, if you are considering Gigabyte, talk to a rep or tech who has experience with that company before making a choice, and ask for his/her recommendation.
As for MSI it has been my experience and acquired understanding that they do have some excellent products (their Gaming 5 and 7 series of boards comes to mind) and they have competitive prices...But in terms of specific product comparison (GPUs to motherboards) I've been told that the quality does not always equally transcend across their entire range, especially when compared to competitors like EVGA and Gigabyte. So again...if you have any questions and want an honest answer-- always ask the rep to give you their honest opinion, not just bs you to try and make the sale....don't be afraid to ask!
I hope this answers your questions.
Good luck with finding/building the system that you want....and I hope you have fun in the process.
