Don't worry about the RAM it will function perfectly, it will run at 1.5v by default, but you can run it at 1.65v if you want to overclock it (as 1.5 probably won't be enough) -- not that it matters.

And it wont harm the longevity of the system?

not at all.

not at all.

Okay just checking. Thanks for the reassurance!

Why such high frequency RAM? Also, increasing it to 1.65V will probably run it at 2400Mhz.

A friend suggested it, and I took his word. He helped me out alot on this build

I would just get a 1600MHz kit. It doesn't affect performance or anything.

Only thing I would say is get a Z97 board if possible. Less likely to have a BIOS update issue.

I mean it's not 100% that you'll get a Z87 that's been sitting on the shelf for over a year, but it can happen.
