hi there..firstly i don't know much about computer building and this is my second build(first got screwed up due to a shop vendor and msi...)
what i have:
graphic card:msi nvidia gtx 610 2gb
hdd:1tb 5400 rpm wd
dvd writer:lg(don't know the specs and i don't want an upgrade in this)
monitor:aoc lm925 48cm(19”) TFT Color LCD Monitor
keyboard and mouse:logitech wireless k220 combo

what i am planning to buy
psu:seasonic 750 km3
case: phantom 530
processor:intel 4790k(little confused between 4770k and 4790k for some inbuilt instructions in 4770k which are absent in 4770k)
motherboard:asus maximus VII formula
ram:g skill 8gbripjaws x 1600mhz ( 8x1gb )
oc:yes i will do but after the warranty is over.need to use this for about 5 years i guess...

also i have some doubts(pardon me if they are riduculous)
1.dual channel won't work as i am using single ram
2.i have seen the compatibilty memory list and psu list for the motheboard both are not mentioned in the list will they work properly.
3.shall i wait for 5th generation haswell processor that would require ddr4 ram ...i guess then i need to wait a year..

all replies are appreciated and thanks for reading the above...

the motherboard is not rated at 1.5V.
if you put XMP profile the bios will set the required voltage and mhz the ram is stated at.
if you buy a set of ram that is rated 2133mhz and at 1.65V, and you set XMP profile inside bios it will set it at 2133mhz and 1.65V.
if you buy one that is rated 2133mhz and 1.5V it will set it as 2133mhz and 1.5V.

i am little confused now,if i buy a 2133mhz it will do what the stock settings are,but even if i set to higher rating,should i not tweak the cpu as well as it supports 1600mhz as max bandwith(cpuboss)...

The difference between the i7-4770k and the i7-4790k is that 4770k is last years refresh name haswell and the 4790k is this year refresh name devil cannon. The 4770k is clock at 3.5 GHz and the 4790k is clock at 4 GHz. There more to this year tick then last year tock. That one of the major things and that it can OC much better.
