So I ordered these parts today as they were on sale. I sort am going for a lower end build here as I just can't afford much more than this. Anybody see any glaring errors in these parts working together? I know I should have asked before ordering but the sale ends soon, and I have 24 hours to cancel. 

Motherboard vendors list compatible memory for a specific board (I had a Gigabyte board and it had compatible memory listed for it).  Did you verify that the memory you want is listed as compatible?  (memory not listed can be compatible but using certified compatible is safer).
 
 

Thanks I'll look into that, good point. 

1. Support for DDR3 3300(O.C.) / 3200(O.C.) / 3100(O.C.) / 3000(O.C.) / 2933(O.C.) / 2800(O.C.) / 2666(O.C.) / 2600(O.C.) / 2500(O.C.) / 2400(O.C.) / 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 2000(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1800(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 MHz memory modules

Memory Speed1600 MHz
 
 So will 1600 work is the question? They do have 1333Mz in stock but that seems like a down grade or something. 
 
 

It seems like that is quite pricey for the memory - 8 GB of memory should run less than $100.
 
Here is a link for what looks like the same (or at least similar) memory:

The price you posted looks like how much I see the 16 GB going for.
 
Also, the price you post for the CPU seems quite low for an i5.
 
Good luck with it all,

Sorry Bob, I see the post looks different when I open it on IE and Chrome, I posted on Firefox,, This forum still needs work, I just edited it so it looks right now on IE  and you'll see the prices are what you are thinking they should be. 
The only question I still have is that if 1600Mz RAM will work when the specs call for 1333Mz??. Seems 1600 is standard for most systems and one would think it would be better?

Well, the way you list the memory speeds above seems to indicate that either 1333 or 1600 would work without having to overclock.
 
The edits sure helped - thanks.

Oh!  thanks for that because you made me read that again and now I see the 1600 listed,, I have no clue about what all the numbers mean anymore as I have not built much since the days of SD RAm..  My son is usually the one building for me.. So this is sort of a brave undertaking for me. Anything I do will be better than the P4 or whatever a Pentium D is> I'm using now. 4 cores has gotta be better than 2...

Got the box of part sitting here now.. All my clients are out of town and no ones looking.. 
Time to back up for the 4th time and labotimize.. Hope windows 7 updates don't take forever again...
