Yeah, what are your uses for this?

It looks good for a standard i7 build, except for the 12GB RAM. If you're only using this for gaming, you'll never come close to needing that much; 6 will work fine. If you're trying to run billions of computations on a Matlab-style application, that's another story.

So, what about the memory I selected? If I go with 6G should I opt for a faster memory then the 1333?

You should definitely go for 1600 if you have the money, but if you're not going to overclock it then don't bother. Get a good processor and a fast graphics card and you're ready to go.
