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.

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.

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.
