Everything that doesn't have a price next to it I already have. I'm basically upgrading from an i5 2500k, R9 270X. Both of which are OC'd but they're just not cutting it these days.

Just wondering if everything is compatible/looks good?
Will that mobo be able to get full power out of the 950 pro without bottleneck?
I'll probably have to change the ram as the vengeance heat sinks are quite tall for the D14. Do ram speeds still not matter? As in you're better off getting any generic 2x8g ddr4 and used that saved cash on other upgrades?

I mainly use my PC for gaming/streaming/multiboxing.

Yeah true! Currently using 2x8gb vengeance ddr3 and I had to remove the heat sink for them to fit. :ouch:

Thanks for your reply!
