From what I can tell, it's a fairly good build and you can do some decent gaming on it.
But I'm pretty armature at motherboards so don't take this to heart! Haha.

I wouldn't be putting a Haswell chip under a Hyper 212 Evo. Haswells tend to get quite toasty when overclocking; too toasty for the Hyper 212 to handle.
Go for a more high end cooler. Something like a Phanteks PH-TC12DX would be fine.
Other than that it looks all good to me!

I'd suggest getting a better case. The 210 is great for budget builds, but this is not a budget build. Go with at least a Corsair 200R, Antec One, Cooler Master N400, or HAF 912.
