Welcome to TF!

First off, what is your budget? We may be able to squeeze more out of it if we know what the limit is.

I would recommend using two hard drives (or a SSD and a hard drive), one for your OS and one for data. Where you install your other programs would depend on the size of the OS drive. i use a SSD for my OS, a HDD for my programs, and a couple of other HDDs for storage... but that's just me.

You really won't need a network card as all current motherboards come with onboard network connectivity. Most mid to top end boards will have giganet connections.

We might be able to milk more graphics performance out of a different card, but that would depend on the price. If you are using NewEgg then we might be able to snag some good combo deals.
 
Ditch the high end Asus AMD mobo and get a cheaper Intel 1155 mobo and a 2500k.
Also ditch the NIC, it isn't needed since 99% of all new boards have integrated gigabit.
 
Hi,
Thank you very much for your input and Yes i am using NewEgg. My budget Is within the $1500-$1600 range so i hope that helps with maybe figuring out what i could switch around.
Thank you again for your time!
