Alright so my current spec is in my sig, I would like to upgrade for battlefield 3. here are all of the parts I am thinking of getting, the motherboard seems great for all I need, does the RAM look alright? I will b keeping my gtx470 for this upgrade. What CPU cooler would you guys recommend? That V8 seems great, but maybe too massive for this motherboard? I Would love to hear what you guys think of this build, thanks!
