whats wrong with 1333?

and what speeds should i look for then?

Oh, I just realized that when it says 667 MHz it means 667 x2 not just 667 MHz. Nevermind 1333 is good.

Is this good for the price?

The max temperature for your cpu is probably somewhere above 100 C. Strictly speaking, your cpu should never ever go above 80 C for daily use. Too little or two much paste will only cost you a few degrees but you should always monitor your temps with coretemp or speedfan if you're unsure.

If a CPU goes over 80c and possibly over 90c daily, what can happen?

Constantly running hot will shorten its lifespan.

He's talking about it being constant. If it's just during gaming or whatever that's fine, for laptops seeing how they have terrible cooling, for desktops it's a bit worrying.

Well if you game daily like most people, 80 C is very bad temp to hit during games. In a typical day your cpu shouldn't get above 70 C. If you're doing something extra on one particular day, it can get higher but you really want to avoid that. Like dkamm said:

Under 70 is safe, anything above isn't guaranteed to be good. The max temp is 105 (or whatever's in the BIOS), but that's pretty much only there to do shut stuff down if you're having a small nuclear reactor meltdown.

The gpu and ram in there are currently just for testing, I have a 660ti not in the build at the moment, and i still need to buy some good RAM
