No more overheating laptops for me. I'm building a gaming computer, with the help of i7Baby.

Is everything compatible? Especially the CPU cooler?

Solid build?
 
Here are some compatibility problems.

Compatibility Notes
The Corsair XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 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.
