I placed an order on Newegg for all the pieces for this build already and noticed one issue with the RAM that could have saved me some money but since the components have already been ordered I am just wondering if I should be on the lookout for any other compatibility issues when putting it together. Please feel free to input any additional comments in regards to this build/hardware.

I already noticed it was probably a stupid idea to get 2000mhz DDR 3 because my CPU would not support it but I was having difficulty finding matched 4GB sticks for AMD systems. I already purchased it and it should work for my system at a slower speed if I am not mistaken? I also plan on using AS5 for the thermal compound and adding an extra 140mm fan to the top of the case for exhaust. Again I would appreciate any input or advice on making sure this system goes off without a hitch.
