And if this isnt a overkill because it is a LOT of money... (over 1000)

AMD FX-8350
ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z
Thermaltake Chaser MK-I LCS
Thermaltake SMART M750W
G.Skill 32 GB DDR3-1600 Quad-Kit
LG CH10LS28

AMD FX CPU over 3570k which is a superior CPU and platform.

I already know you're not going to use the features of the ridiculously priced Asus board and presumably chose it due to the colour scheme. AMD motherboards are generally cheaper but the price is still not justified for the majority of users including yourself. More times than not, there is no need to spend more than around $130 on a motherboard since the features are just gimmicks leaving you with a MSI Z77 G43 / 45 or an ASRock Extreme4 ( if priced correctly ).

Thermaltake case - yeaaaaah, no. It's junk and even TTL from YT agrees with me. Avoid them as a whole.

Antec One / Zalman Z9 / Corsair 300r / HAF 912 / Fractal R4 / Core 1000 / Lian Li K62 are a few cases that are not only cheaper but are actually half decent cases since they actually put time and effort into making it a quality case.

Grab a 650w Rosewill HIVE series PSU. Modular, great price, and they are of quality.

You won't need 32gb's of RAM, more specifically in a gaming machine. Grab a low profile kit of [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Unless you absolutely need a blu ray player, don't get one and save quite a bit of money.

With all the money saved, grab a 128gb Crucial M4 SSD + Hyper 212 heatsink.

1/10 as is - 10/10 if you take my suggestions.

If you host servers and render, i'm sure 16GB will do just fine.
