Also, are you using this PC mainly for gaming? If yes, drop the 16GB of RAM and get 8. You will only need 16 if you are actually rendering 3D models or video etc. I have 16, and only ever max it out when rendering with After Effects or Premiere Pro, or running multiple virtual machines in the background.

When I added the things to pcpartpicker this was the compatibility error.
The G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.
I'm looking for a high end graphics card for my machine. If you have an sugestions please comment.

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128701R&cm_re=z97-_-13-128-701R-_-Product
Memory (RAM): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231589
The budget is for the graphics card only.
