Hi and welcome to TechIMO.
IDK what to think about your list to be honest. I think it's a little "mismatched".
What's your budget for this system?
Where do you live?
I think you could spend your money a little wiser. I can make you a list if you would like.
OK, saw your edit. give me a min. |

Ok. Just so you know, the 260 core 216 is only like 10% slower then the 280. I myself wouldn't pay the extra $100 (after MIR) for that little performance gain you could get for free just by OCing a little.
But that's just me. That's why I said "bang for the buck". 
Hope all goes well, and enjoy.  |
