So that's what I have so far. My budget is about 900 (Canadian). I mainly have battlefield 3 in mind for this PC how would this handle it? Do I have to worry about overheating with this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
I have to recommend the Asus P8P67 Pro over the Gigabyte.

I have a 8GB (2x4GB) set of the Corsair Vengeance and while they work perfectly I think you would be better off spending less on this G.Skill 4GB (2x2GB) kit

or by spending a little more on this 8GB (2x4GB) kit
