Hopefully the memory issue.. won't be an issue. I'm on a tight $1000 budget trying to make the price as low and affordable as possible yet still on the sweet spot of the hardware side. Trying to achieve 50+fps in 1440p downscaled to 1080p. Overclocking doesn't seem to be necessary and if anything breaks then there's a risk the warranty may void so I'd rather not do that (I'm not experienced either.)

NZXT Source 340 (S340) Mid tower
Seasonic S12II 520W 80PLUS Bronze
Corsair Vengeance 8GB Dual 1600 CL9 CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9

Corsair H100i Hydro Series CPU Cooler
PS: I'll be some PC-isolated country in June so I cannot wait for the Radeon 300 series. Also I wouldn't want my CPU to be bottlenecked but I really wish I could go for AMD. The total price of this build would cost around $1200 in my country but it should normally be almost exactly $1000.
