Do you need a 4790K? You could save money by going with a 4690K and 8GB of RAM, unless you need the hyper-threading and 16GB of RAM.

@Dracstar follow your threads.

 

what @techguru said, but i disagree with his statement on greens being unreliable. i have used them for years without a hitch.

 

seasonic x650, evga supernova 750g2, corsair rm550, bequiet powerzone 650, superflower leadex gold 650. all kind of overkill but lots of headroom.

pc specs: 4 function calculator / 8 digit lcd display / colored numeric and function buttons

What's the advantage of 1866 ram? I mean, the latency might be lower, but that's pretty much it.
