Just need some feedback and to check if everything is okay before I place my order...Was just wondering about the ram that I'm getting.

dont worry about the 2400 ram. it will just downclock to 2133. you can try playing with the timings though and get down to a lower cas spec. but there is no sense in getting a 2133 kit for $3 less when you can have a cooler running kit and possibly tighten up the timings. cheers.

there isn't much room to upgrade with that case and power supply, but it will all work fine.

if you have the money i would suggest taking a small 10-15% gpu performance hit for a much better overall system with more room to upgrade and the capability for stellar performance in the future.

Thanks for the feedback. yeah I do understand that it will be hard to upgrade this if I want to later on, but for now this seems to be what fits my budget the best. I did look into other builds also. Thanks again!
