sorry about that the site is in finnish but you should get the names.. :)
and i got OS and monitor etc. and i think im going to upgrade DVD drive to bluray as soon as possible.
 
Yeah your build is all good. Nothing I'd change. You should be fine for Blu-Rays in the future with the GTX 560 Ti, I have a GTS 450 in my rig and it plays Blu-rays fine.

Ok thanks, think im gonna order these today.. :rolleyes: but one thing! i have this cooler im my current build will it perform better than i5 stock cooler? http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/UCACO-P0900-CSB01 so will it have any potential in overclocking? oh shit... it doesnt support 1155.....

dude, it's 2 x 4gt ram? but thanks for your reply. :)

oh lol didnt read it right :P i just saw the 4GB thing my bad.

But for a cooler, try to look for a Coolermaster Hyper 212+ or Hyper Evo. the CM Hyper series are the best, from what I've read and heard
 
I cant see the cooler you posted because of school blacking it, but as I understand it and cooler that fits 1156 will fit 1155.
 
Its an arctic Freezer rev2. with support for 775,1336 1156 AM2(+) and AM3. but it should support 1155 as wolfe said
 
Yes. Practically everything is better than stock. The stock coolers are just for running your CPU at ~50% utilization and does the job well. I think you will see heat issues if you run at 100% for any length of time.

The AF is a good cooler. It will far outperform the stock.
