Hello everyone! 
I am building a new rig in a month or two. I used PC Part Picker in order to be sure that my parts fit together well. However, PC Part Picker keeps saying so:
The G.Skill Trident X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.
So far, I've chosen Intel Core i5-4690K, 8 GB G.Skill Trident X DDR3-2400 CL10 and if it matters in any matters, a Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z97 mobo. Does this mean I am able to use the parts together without problems or should I choose a RipJawsX for example?
I've heard people telling that I should just enable XMP on BIOS and it is all good to go, some say that I should OC my CPU (which won't be a problem anyway, I've been planning on doing so anyway).
Also, G1.Sniper should be able to run 2400 MHz DDR3 OC according to their webpage. What does that practically mean? Is it the same as above: enabling XMP or overclocking, not CPU, but RAM in this case?
And please, tell me if I should go for a lower RAM frequency for G1.Sniper. The Trident X DDR3-2400 2x4 GB costs approximately 53 euro, which is not a big deal for me as I've planned on using around 50 euro for my memory.
Thank you in advance!
