Everything is fine except motherboard. A Z77 board will allow you to overclock the CPU. Get Asus P8Z77 VLX. For GPU, I don't have much idea about workstation cards. It would be better if you mention the actual softwares you'll be using to determine if a Quadro will be better or a Firepro (CUDA vs OpenCL).
