I want to add some stuff to it so when Guild wars 2 comes out, i can run it on Max graphics settings, so i need your help guys.

First, I want to buy new ram, I want to upgrade to 12g, I wanted to know what would be the best, 1600 mhz ? 1333 ? I'll show some things from neweggs, but you can also recomend someother objects

So What would be better between those 2, and will my motherboard support it ?

I also want to buy a 120 or 128 gigs SSD, But i don't know wich one would be better and if my motherboard would support either one :

So that's pretty much it, Can my computer supports those things ? Are they the best i can get ? What would you recommend ?

Also, If i want to play a game like guild wars 2, should i upgrade the videocard or it should be able to run it ?

thanks guys !

What is your cooler?

U must be sure that your cooler will not obstruct the space over the RAM.

U can see here, that high profile RAM would not fit : )

Thanks for that answer, yeah there is enough room for the ram, The powersupply is nowhere near from being over the ram clips.

Right, but I meant the cooler, when there is the fan on both sides, it rarely fits : )

Anyway, The fan is not in the way (i can see it trought my case (window))

And to answer my own questions, i googled a lot here is what i came to :

I bought the ram with cas latency of 7 and 1333 mhz because my actual processor does not detect 1600 mhz, i would have ended downgrading it...

And for the SSD, I bought the intel 320 series, because the motherboard use a marvell controler wich Restrict the Sata 3, Making the psi to 8x and lowering the overall speed also, So i went with the intel since it has a SATA II

U can use RAM with XMP profile and use 1600MHz RAM just fine.
