I'd recommend you use the low profile Vengeance, in case you decide to overclock and get an aftermarket heatsink. The fins on the standard Vengeance usually interfere with big heatsinks.
Not a fan of MSI motherboards and video cards. You can do worse, but you can also do better. ASUS P8Z77-V Motherboard [P8Z77-V] - $219.00 : PC Case Gear Corsair Vengeance CML8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 [CML8GX3M2A1600C9] - $65.00 : PC Case Gear Sapphire Radeon HD7850 2GB OC [SA-7850-2GD5-OC] - $275.00 : PC Case Gear |

I just want to clarify somethings is worth buying the pro version ASUS P8Z77-V PRO Motherboard [P8Z77-V-PRO] - $255.00 : PC Case Gear? Also what is the difference between these two.
Many thanks |

The differences are minor - the Pro has 2 extra USB 3.0 ports and a legacy COM port. No difference in quality or performance.
