Please note that the RAM will auto-oc to 1866mhz so you won't have problems with the i5's Turbo Boost v2.
Since you say you are a noob, there is no point in OC. You have top-noch everything. For your money ofcourse.
I recommend going with 1 monitor only @1080p, 144Hz is best gaming experience.. More than 1080p is just for fancy rich kids.
