Get cheaper Ram,. don't get a Kingston V300 ssd, Get ONE Gigabyte G1 Gaming 970s instead -- for 1080p 60hz two 970s is WAY overkill.

Well my current GPU is an R9 280x and I don't think a single 970 would be enough of an upgrade to warrant an entire new PC and I can't afford a 1440p monitor.

Thanks but like I said before I'm absolutely in love with the look of the Corsair LP memory and I'm kind of OCD about color coordination.

I'll see if I can't find some cheaper white ram

Stick with your 280x then for now, or upgrade to a single 970 (or another 280x) if your single 280x isn't enough for your current monitor. But two 970s is just a waste of money for a single 1080p display at 60hz.聽

Do you think I'll have clearance issues with the large CPU heatsink?聽

As long as you put the RAM in the furthest slots it will be fine.

The Kingston Ram is low profile.

聽

Swap the psu for the EVGA G2 as it is currently on offer for $69.99 after rebate from Newegg. It is a better unit than the NEX.
