Hey guys,
Here is my build. Going to be used for OC'ing, Gaming and Editing. If there are any better parts with a similar price tell me. Also, if there are any parts I can change to lower the price,

The Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V 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.

Yes, I know that. However, the RAM is will still run and work. It will just run at a lower clock speed such as 2133MHz. It costs the same as 2133MHz so why not buy it?

It has 11 CAS, it's pretty high for 2133 MHz RAM.

Okay, so I changed the RAM to the 2133MHz version. Which has a voltage of 1.5v meeting the Haswell thing.

Get the lowest CAS as possible, if it's within your budget.

What's CAS?

Latency. Like CL8, CL9, CL10... The lower it is the better performance you get, again not a big boost in games but you will notice it when opening programs and such.
