I have finally come up with a build that I am pretty happy with, but I have two questions still in my mind before I commit.
First off, here is what my build is made of:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($319.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.98 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme6 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($144.99 @ Microcenter)
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory ($154.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 240GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($139.99 @ Microcenter)

Now for my two questions.
1) PC Part Picker gives me a compatibility note and I am not sure if I should be worried or not about it. Here is the note:
"G.Skill Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum."
Should I worry about it? Or should all be well?
2)I have left out a disk drive because I do not plan to use one that much, if at all. Will I need some form of disk drive to setup Windows 7 on this computer, or can I get Windows 7 installed without a disk drive?
Thanks in advance for any help!
