Hello! I am going to be building my first (budget) PC soon, and I am just compiling a list of parts that I am going to be using pcpartpicker.com.

I'm new to this stuff, and I need to know about some of my parts. The parts that I am sure about are:

Case - Corsair Carbide Series 500R ATX Mid Tower Case
Video Card - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 4GB Video Card
Storage - Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

And thats about it. These are the rest of my parts:

CPU - Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Mobo - ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
RAM - G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory
Power Supply - Corsair 760W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive - Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer

My question: Are all these parts compatible. pcpartpicker.com shows that the RAM's voltage is too high for the CPU, so should I replace it

Also, are there some parts that you would recommend, or have more bang-for-the-buck. Maybe even something you would avoid?

Anyways, sorry for the long question, and thank-you!

Thanks for the reply, I'm kind of new to this stuff so I don't understand what you mean by '2133mhz' range. Do you mind explaining?

I think what he's trying to say is the voltate of 2400...
RAM - G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400<----Here..}}}}....... Memory

Might be a bit too high,
So try looking for one with a lesser number,like 2133

Oh, thanks. Also, I have no idea about which mobo I should get. To tell the truth I just googled it and picked the first mobo that came up. I need something that can support at least 2 USB 3.0 ports, and supports over clocking, and obviously supports Intel CPUs.
