compatible yes , smart no

no gamer needs 16 gig of RAM
2 x4 gig is more than enough

you need a 600 watt power supply for that computer

arctic silver is a scam

arctic silver is a scam

What would you recommend other than arctic silver?

The stuff that comes with the cooler is fine

I would probably replace the stock cooler with either a Xigmatek 1283 or a CM Hyper 212

Even without Overclocking?

If you are not overclocking, there is no real need for a Z77 or a CPU cooler.

What mobo would you recommend for non overclocking?
