so pcpartpicker is telling me "The Corsair Dominator Platinum 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum."

i have no idea what this means so could someone explain it and what problems im going to encounter?

Just because its not validated, doesn't mean it wont work.  1.65v RAM works just fine.  I run it, so do many other people.  You can ignore that and buy 1.65v RAM with confidence.

 

Just make sure you're on a Z series motherboard, otherwise 1600Mhz is the maximum the motherboard can use.

You're buying everything new, or looking to upgrade just the RAM?

 

I see that you're in Italy, but we can make a lot of improvements to that rig while bringing the cost down.
