Storage Set 1 is a SATA M.2 form factor SSD. Means its no where near as fast as an NVMe version at 5 times faster. You can go Samsung 512GB 970 PRO or the new Seagate choice. the Seagate at just $21 more is a no-brainer. The upgrade from a SATA one is epic.

We don't recommend overclocking GPUs just on their own fans. It makes 'em run hotter, which means the fans spin up more and tend to get louder. I trust you know that's the right card for you. Price/performance pick for 1440p.

The overclock on the CPU is a different story. The K series is designed to have plenty of room to overclock, and the stage one is free. It's a mighty chip at stock, but it's a safe option.

If you're just mostly gaming, 16GB of RAM will be enough. Dominator is cool, but an expensive upgrade from Vengeance that doesn't give enough extra for the cost IMHO. You might save something there and consider the Corsair LL series RGB fans to really make that case pop. Just a thought.
