See http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ddr-dram-myths,4155.html#p6 part 1 -

"I’ve mentioned Kingston’s line of Fury DRAM, which doesn't come with an XMP profile but instead operates using plug and play. They look nice, come in a variety of heat sink colors, are reasonably priced and appeal to people with older systems who want to upgrade their DRAM. But since they are based off PnP, they will operate only under various motherboard chipsets: H67, P67, Z68, Z77, Z87 and H61 from Intel, along with AMD's A75, A87, A88, A89, A78 and E35. You can include Z87 and Z97. The sets I listed are direct from the company’s product page."

So according the that my Motherboard will support the RAM since its a Z97, but what about the Maxwell Intel Core i5 4460 Processor?

The i5 4460 will work fine on any Z97 motherboard. Usually people only put that i5 on a H97 motherboard as the i5 4460 is not overclcokable. But soem people want to use 2 pcie slots on the Z97.

If you have a good GPU then get a better quality PSU - from tiers 1 or 2 of http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html#xtor=EPR-8886

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I will keep that in mind. Also one more thing, Since my RAM is PnP, will it Run on its maximum Speed of 1866 with the current Configuration?

 

[i7Baby]

Yep.

 

[Bhathiya]

Yep.

Thanks
