A Few Quick Notes:
Zip Zoom Fly is awesome, everything was way cheapier than Tiger Direct, plus everything was free shipping, which is better than Newegg. I did use Newegg for the reviews to pick everything

ONE QUICK QUESTION:
This is my first build and everything seems to be running well, how do I know it is good to go? Just hope that nothing goes wrong? Also should I update the BIOS from ASUS? (haven't done that yet)

You don't really need to update the BIOS, so don't bother unless you have some problems.

Just give it a try for a few weeks, keep an eye on temperatures, and just enjoy your new computer! :)
