So below is a list of the parts that i'll be getting for my first build used for daily browsing, video/media and occasion gaming. I'm salvaging the Optical drive, and Hard drive from my old PC. I've already got An ASUS HD 7770 for my graphics card. I'll be using the SSD as my boot drive and games, and the hard drive will be for storage.
So just a few questions. To begin regarding the RAM, should I keep it at 1600Mhz or at a higher speed at 2133mhz? Is the increase noticeable? I've read that the lower the CL number, the better.
I've been looking at a couple of options:

So what's your guy's opinion on RAM and speed?
Secondly, I'm not sure if my PSU is haswell ready but it's been suggested so i'm guessing it works with my build? Lastly, i'm not really sure about my case.. It is a good choice for what i'm building?
And any, compatible issues, final comments or opinions for my build i'd like to know , thanks !
