That's not true at all, RAM has *ZERO* to do with what frame rates you get - that's all entirely GPU dependent. And Haswell actually scales better in overclocking with faster RAM speeds: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7364/memory-scaling-on-haswell

OP - what is your budget? And before you settle on the Level 10, there's way better cases you can get.

In the real world, you still wouldn't notice much difference.

It might be your opinion, but I would never recommend someone to buy 2666 Mhz, just because Haswell scales it better.

How much of an effect would it have in gaming? Practically negligible.

If you read that article the differences lie in overclocking. Sure you may not notice a .1 difference in GHz from one game to the next, but you will definitely notice a .5 or .6 difference in GHz in gaming.

Fair enough.

Then the next question is, if that 0.5 Ghz difference is worth the extra 300 dolllars?

Logically, no.

But I guess someone who is spending so much on the rig especially for overclocking, might think otherwise.

Here is my Suggestion using the same Mobo and case you already selected:

By using the i5-4670k it's $100 cheaper so that money can go into a closed loop water cooler and you will be able to Oc if wanted. Changed the Psu, Ram, SSD and HDD choices. They are in my opinion better quality.

$300 difference in RAM speeds? Where are you getting these prices from? If anything there's only a $20 difference in price between DDR3-2133 and DDR3-2400, and that makes it worth it. Maybe Corsair Dominator Platinum but the RAM is so ridiculously expensive that there's no way I would recommend purchasing it.

i am from europe my budget is around 1700 to 2000 euro its around 2500 to 2700 usd ....i will do some video editing too thats why i went for
the i7 also i might overclock him in the future ...My actual issue was if this build could handle all games on 1080p everything maxed out and if i could get in new generation games above 60 fps if you think that this build isnt good i am open for any suggestion :)
