Help with RAM and CPU overclocking question

Hi, so I am new to overclocking, and would really appreciate some help and any information anyone has. I just purchased ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX

• DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200)
• Timing 10-12-12-31
• Cas Latency 10
• Voltage 1.65V

I also got motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

ASRock Z77 Extreme3 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

LGA 1155
• Intel Z77
• 4×240pin DDR3 2800+(OC)/2400(OC)/2133(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066


Since the MB supports OC of 2400 I decided to get the 2400 ram. I also am getting the intel core i7 3770k CPU. However was reading some articles that it only supports 1600 speeds? Does that mean I can't utilize the 2400 speed I just bought from my RAM? Or am I able to OC the CPU to get the speeds? I also have a Radeon HD 6850 GPU that I bought last year that will be in the system as well as a SSD 120GB (system) HD.

I have tried searching for the past hour or so and wasn't able to find the answer I was looking for so sorry if this has been answered before, but I wasn't able to find it.

Thanks so much!
