About to buy these parts. Did I do a good job in choosing correctly? Will all be compatible?

I want to ask about the RAM specifically, is it high enough quality, or is there another type that will benefit me more?

PLEASE NOTE: I did not list a GPU or PSU as I already own both. A Corsair CS750M and a Gigabyte GTX 780ti Windforce edition card.

Will it all work? Is the COOLER good enough?

Mostly, yes, however I'll be making music in late September via DAW's and running many VST's at once. Along with the odd video render here and there.

I'm simply ensuring the parts I've picked aren't "cheap" and unreliable. I want a sturdy, reliable performance from places I can trust. What are your thoughts, master of Tom's Hardware?

I'm looking at a pair of 16GB Gskill sticks right now, but their CAS is 10, as opposed to my choice of Corsair vengeance being 9. Does CAS latency matter, or make any noticeable difference at all?
