As best as I can tell, everything else looks good. If you're not partial to one particulat brand of ram, you may want to take a look at this.
G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C14D-16GTZ - Newegg.com

It's 3200 Mhz ram with timings of 14-14-14-34, about as good timings as you are going to get, I think.

Hi,
Sure wish you would of posted that when I was in the market

Pretty sure they are Samsung B-Die. I have same kit only with 32 gigs, wicked good overclockers.

I was trying to get some prices on the i7-8700 3.2GHz and i7-8700K 3.7 GHz and I’ve Just been told by a seller that:

“There was a problem with the 8 series CPUs & Intel aren’t selling them yet till they resolve it”

And he’s advice is to “just get 7700k or 7740x as they’re very good”.

Anyone heard anything about this or is he trying to sell the stock he already has
