1) I know I don't have a 'k' version of the 4770, but somehow I just really want the z87. Or is this just plain stupid because I want to know I have a 'better' made board?
2) i5 4670 3.4ghz? Likewise, I just feel better knowing that I have a i7 (this is stupid). Should I switch to i5?
3) My chosen Corsair Vengeance RAM is compatible with my MOBO, words of assurance - anyone?
>>> If you any suggestions for improvement please let me know! Thanks!
4) My Case is actually the Thermaltake Versa 2, pcpartpicker.com didn't have it in the list. I'd choose Fractal Design if I could but I live in Hong Kong.
