8gb running at 1866mhz is more then enough ram power... 2133mhz sees not much benefits...

i would suggest getting 1000 Watt PS, future proofing is always good.. higher end graphics card requires more power... PS is the number 1 important item to get...
get a PS that has removable cables is good, less clutter inside the case... like the Silverstone Strider Plus...
I was gonna get a 800 Watt PSU which should suffice for a while.

As for the 12GB ram, mostly for some video editing/ PS for my photography. However, i only opted to go for the i5 2500k cuz its the best bang for the buck atm.
