New build advice

[Bicster]

I'm thinking of building the following machine, with the intent to upgrade to a quad core ivy bridge CPU once they are properly supported.

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H
Celeron G530
2 x Crucial Ballistix 8GB DDR3 1600 BLT8G3D1608DT1TX0

In a few months I'd also upgrade to 32GB

The primary purpose of this machine is light desktop workload and ZFS file server (10 HDDs, mostly connected to an LSI SAS controller)

I realize the last PCIe slot will not work with the G530, but that is fine. Any other gotchas? Thanks!

I ended up ordering these parts. I'll follow up once the build is done.

You will need a graphics card. HD Graphics is unsupported.

That is fine, I will continue to use my GeForce card.

As long as I can get my 10 hdd's and 2 ssd's working well I will be happy.

Oh, ok. I thought you haven't got any graphics card.
