I know its gonna be expensive but can somebody tell me if this is a good configuration. Thank you.

I only have one observation and keep inmind it's strictly opinion...
I'd never select an MSI MBoard for a high end rig...ok then what would you suggest?
If budget is within range i personally would currently select an ASUS or Gigabyte board,ok thanks
ok how about?

I have one of those and I haven't had a problem with it yet. AMD variant, though.
