as long as you realize the i3 530 is pretty slow then it looks ok
the point to buying the i3 is it has onboard graphics making the build cheap
i dont think that mobo has the right chipset for that plus you are buying a video card.
i would do an i5 750 far better processor

or the right mobo for the i3, which would be even less $ spent

The advantage of going with a firm like ADK (which I did), or Jim Roseberry, is that they know the components that work well together. The cost is a bit higher, but for non-DYI, IMO paying for their expertise is money well spent (not to mention the service, should something go wrong).
