Hi, I just purchased this computer to start some gaming like Diablo 3 and then use it just to stream movies and play music on. I just switched from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 64bit. I was thinking to add 2x2GB Ram and maybe switch the stock CPU cooler to Cooler Master Hyper 212 and overclock the CPU a bit more.

Any opinions would be great.

I'd say another 4GB of RAM to make 8GB would be worthwhile, and maybe a more powerful graphics card. The 6850s and 6870s are both great cards for the money. The 212+ is certainly a good cooler and it yeah overclocking your 1055T would probably be beneficial.
