Wow, nice system.
Yes that will work.
Motherboard is good
Nice case.
Ram is fine for normal gaming or computer tasks
I would recommend a power supply unit > 500 watts say a 550 watts is ok, this power supply unit supports the crossfire.
I would recommend against using a water cooling system for your first build, spend that money on a Hard disk instead say 500GB or 1TB.
Linux? If your planning to do gaming on computer get Windows (this will however blow your budget by 100 USD or so) other wise its fine if you plan on getting windows later.
I hope this helps. :)
