^^ I would spend a wee bit more and grab a better motherboard, an HD67 based probably about 4.5k priced.

And the corsair RAM cots 2.5k AFAIK.

Rest good rig, go for it.(keep in mind cabby is a bit small for the gpu, but it'll fit)

ram price is correct -
Corsair Memory 4GB DDR3 Memory CMV4GX3M1A1333C9

^^ Agreed with Jas. Spend 1K more and get the DH67VR-B3 @ 4.5K. The extra 1K really worth as you are getting SATA 6 Gbps, USB3.0, 4 Ram slots dor 32 GB ram support.

Turbo boost is a CPU specific property and it will work irrespective of motherboard type. Check the specification of i5 2400, you will find it.

Better change the PSU before something blows up(never trust desi PSUs). Does it carry an 80+ certified sticker? Change the PSU to Corsair VX450 @ 3.5k ASAP.
