Essentially the same build I did with a bit better GPU and a bigger case. Mine runs well, although it will hang up on itself occasionally during gaming. I may have fixed it with drivers though. Also, why did you go Windows8?? I am going to stick with 7 for as long as i can.

Nice rig.

Edit: It is an mATX. Nice! Love the small form factor and clean look.
