I have got most of my parts ready to buy but when i checked my motherboard which is a Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H ATX LGA1150 and compared it with the
G.Skill Ripjaws-X Main Memory 8 GB 2,133 MHz 240-Pin 2x 4GB CL9 DIMM DDR3

There was one small problem. The motherboard can take up to 1.5V but the RAM does up to 1.6V. should i get the same RAM with lower MHz? Possibly the 1866? Or would it not cause much of a problem.

Look forward to replys,thanks.
 
You be fine with the Gskill ram. When in the BIOS load the XMP file and this will auto configure the voltage, speed and timings - or you can inout these manually.
