Of course, tall heatsink gives you practically nothing, so if you decide to buy 1600MHz CL9, then:

- no sense to overpay, and tall heatsink will interrupt installation of some big cpu coolers.
But that 2400MHz CL10 RAM is an amazing deal.
R9-280X - ASUS looks fine:

- looks like all of them - 280X`s - are quite noisy.
Here`s Sapphire Tri-X R9-290:

- looks quite OK (temps., noise).
Hmm ... but here`s ASUS R9-290X:

- kinda shitty temps., would be nice to see more tests of that Sapphire ;) ... this website is a nice one:

On the other hand ... GTX 770 OC or R9-280X OC ... have a really nice price / performance ratio.
840 EVO 250GB is a nice choice.
Case ... up to personal preferences, but fine ... however top fan might be needed to create a better airflow (or remove from front to top).
