I want to make sure everything is compatible, along with a RAM and Case inquiry

Set-in-stone parts:
CPU - Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W
PSU - A 600w modular PSU (already owned)
Audio- Sound Blaster Z (already owned)



GPU - still deciding between
GTX 780 Ti
R9 290X
GTX 780

I kinda want to just go with the Ti, but... Mantle...



Mobo - ASUS Z87-A LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
This has a discount deal with the 4670k and has pretty good ratings so this one seems good



RAM - 4GB (2GBx2) OCZ PC3 12800 DDR3 1600Mhz Memory
This is a leftover from my current build. Would I be able to put more 2gb sticks in? Do they need to all be the same? Should I just sell these and buy new 6gb or 8gb sticks?



Case - ???
top choice so far: Cooler Master HAF 912
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233
Very open to suggestions for a case



So I'm basically looking for input on the Mobo, Case, RAM, and I'm just not sure about whether or not to put my bets on Mantle. Assuming nvidia won't be able to use Mantle.

Mobo and case look good. As for RAM, you can add more sticks and they don't have to be the same as the ones already in there, but it's recommended to use the same in each channel (i.e. Corsair memory in channel 1A and 1B, Mushkin in channel 2A and 2B). It might be worth it to just buy two new 4GB sticks to replace them though.

It will work, but you should buy in pairs to use your memory in double channel. 2x2GB is better than 1X4GB.
