I was gonna go Noctua cpu cooler but going to hyper 212+
cuz i want to use ram cooler... but thats if i go 16 gig ram instead of 8

i need to make sure the mobo doesnt go sluggish with more than 2 channels of ram tho.
 



I cant recommend upgrading to Radeon 6970 with such a low end CPU. It would be a big money waste to upgrade to such a high end card. With that CPU You will face MASSIVE CPU bottleneking. Instead upgrade the CPU then use a radeon 6790, 6850,6870 etx on that configuration
