Building my first PC soon

I picked a 16gb ram because I will multitask a lot an I'll need it.
But it says "The G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory operating voltage of 1.6V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh 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."

What does that mean? will waste my pc faster??

Also how many FPS would I get on battlefield ULTRA settings with my pc specs?

I will use my PC excessively almost all day

Great build, kudos.

Now, for the issue, yes your RAM is compatible with your CPU. It won't do anything bad, won't make your PC slower, nothing like that.

The RAM, due to voltage restrictions on stock profile, will work at reduced speeds. To make it work on stated speed (2133Mhz), you'll need to go in BIOS and enable XMP Profile 1, then specify the speed and timings as on the sticks, and you'll be all good. There's no incompatibility here, you just need to enable an option to get full juice out of the sticks.

For the FPS, it should be comfortable 50+ FPS on ultra.
