Looks good except for the DRAM, is that supposed to be an either/or - you aren't planning to try mixing 1600 and 2400 sticks....if looking for 16GB would look to a 4x4GB set of 1866/9 or 2133/9 maybe 2400/10 - if thinking 32GB look at 4x8GB 1866/9 or 2133/9 - think I'd suggest the GSkill Snipers with your combo

i was actualy xD, ive thought a bit harder and am just going to get 16gb ram and change the gpu out for a gtx780ti

You could go for a lower wattage PSU and also the 4gb vram on the GPU isn't necessary as it's only for 1080p, so just get the 2gb vram version. What other options do you have for PSU? Around +600w would do. Also the WD red is for servers, go for Blue, Black or Seagate Barracuda.
