If it's for gaming, you don't need an i7.

And if your resolution is no greater than 1920 x 1080p then you don't need a GTX 780.

1600Mhz RAM would also suffice for a normal gaming rig.

It's meant for gaming as well as music production / editing. There's about a €5 difference between the 1866-kit and the 1600-kit, so I don't really mind that. As for the GPU and CPU, I mostly chose them with heavy-duty emulation & modding in mind, but if you've got better suggestions that won't sacrifice my ability to do those things as well then I'd love to hear them.
