    PSU is a little overkill, HX750 is good if you want to spend a lot on a PSU.

    Thank you all for the help, gonna go for either the Asus or the Gigabyte one. On a side note, I was wondering what the memory standard for motherboards means when it says 2133+. Does that mean that I'd have to have memory as fast or faster?

    and about the power supply, I got lucky and got it for 80$ from my local classifieds o.O

    they will support memory that high. 1600 is perfectly fine, as is 1333.
