Additional Comments:

The main reason I am creating this is to see if all of the parts that I have picked out will work together, also if there are any parts you feel would work better or perform the same thing for a cheaper price. When I picked out these parts I tried to choose "The best" without choosing things that were 2x the price of the previous upgrade.

I know a lot of people say I am just wasting money on 16 gigs of ram but i just don't want to fall short. If I really am wasting that much on two 8's and I would be able to get 4 4-gig sticks I would be willing to try that. I just don't want to be stuck with 8 gigs if I need more... if that makes sense.
Please leave me any comments/suggestions you have and thank you for reading through all of this.
