That cpu and mobo support 1866 ram....native.
That's what I would shop for.

Psu....that unit is a quad rail thing.
I'd shop for a single rail unit.

Really appreciate the help. This is what I now have. I stayed away from mobos with a 970 chipset because of the Vishera update thing.

i talked to a friend and decided to ditch the ssd completely to lower price as it is not necessary. I will look into maybe dropping price somewhere to buff up the gpu. Any suggestions on one!
