Daggerswitch the 16GB @ 1600mhz for 8gb @ 2133mhz for about the same price (a little cheaper i think) and better performance
For gaming, not worth it, unless you're using APU.
Changed the prices to Canada.
<1400, no overclock

If you're willing to spend ~100 more for better performance.
<1500, overclocking

Dual Channel vs Single Channel doesn't make much of a difference, bandwidth isn't really a problem for games. Timings do way more (read: +3% max).
Yet you got CAS 10 RAM for more $$$.
KronitonJust remember that if you switch to a graphics card that is not nvidia, you will not be able to use lightboost on you 144hz moniter (unless I am mistaken?)
You're wrong.

Neither of the options you have suggested are good, I'd suggest to talk to your parents about building your own computer.
Platypus...
The RAM you've suggested is out of stock.

Why don't you want Windows 7 Home Premium or even Windows 8? Would save you ~$30.
These builds have SSDs, which are A LOT faster than HDDs (HDD is also included). PSU is 80 PLUS gold certified so it's more power efficient.
SSD, ATX

No monitor, every shop.

The cheaper ones:
Fractal Design Core 1000
Cooler Master N200
You won't get a lot of FPS with that setup and you won't be able to use 144 Hz monitor in its full potential. if I were you I'd cancel that order.
rock-this sounds good apart from the VGA (he could probably get a faster AMD at the same price or maybe less)
As much as I like AMD, GTX 760 is a better choice at this price range.
