The power supply concerns me. It's a cheapo with low efficiency and mixed/skeptical reviews.

Look at a recommended top teir PSU brand like seasonic, corsair, evga, pc power and cooling, etc; with a 80 plus silver or higher rating, in my opinion.

You could look for the Evga G2 750, good and not to pricey for a gold standart :)

Here is a good power supply Rosewill CAPSTONE-750-M 750W Other than that your system is good :D But if you could I would recommend and SSD like a SAMSUNG 840 EVO 128gb for your operating system and keep the 2tb hard drive for games. They are 83 dollars on Amazon right now. I wouldn't recommend Adata for an SSD. Also you could cut down to 8gb for you system and upgrade later to save money on your build for the SSD like I said. I play BF4 and it only uses about 4gb ram. Good LUCK with your build. EDIT: I would also recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo for you CPU cooler.

1333Mhz ram is fine for gaming and so is 1600. But if you want to get 1866mhz go ahead it wouldn't hurt lol

I personally have 16 GB at 1600 (from back in the day when a 2 x 8GB kit was only $90  ). I think the price difference for different speeds at 8 GB is negligible so I would go as high as possible to be as future-proof as possible.

Ram speed does not matter at all for gaming. 1333mhz will get you the same fps as 1866mhz. Go with lower frequency 16gb over high 8 gb

Hey Guys,
thanks for that many replies !
I will get the 1600 or the 1866 DDR.
I just saw that my cooler wouldnt fit in my Case. So i have to chose another one.
Will be 500 Watt enough for that Kit?
Thanks for your help guys

700 watts for overclock is more stable i think in some theads i see some CORSAIR power supply have sometime failstart when goin old stuff i have antec and bequiet brand ... +10 years without fail in my systems  the more fans in tower you have ... the global temp case you get more cool down easily
