I strongly advice you go with G.Skill memory that is designed for the Intel sandy bridge:

Not to mention its on your motherboard approved memory list directly from Gigabyte.
Just grab some memory like above, they should have it at any major retailer.
Answer #3
Thanks will check it out. Is there a better brand then g.skill? They don’t have a RMA center in europe

You can’t ask me to name something better when I already named the best, lol!
There may be better options for you in your region, but that won’t make it better. I have no idea what brand to recommend over G.Skill, I know others use Corsair, but I end up sending that back too much.
If you want better memory, just pick up an 1,866MHz (8GB) kit. The one I linked you is a 1600MHz (8GB) kit, and the 1,866MHz kit will perform better.
Getting memory from your motherboard’s approved memory list will help ensure compatibility.

Depends on how much overclocking you plan to do. If you want a high performance air cooler and have room for it, get the Noctura NH-D14,

If you want a nice quiet fan, that allows for descent overlcoking and won’t cost you alot, get a CM Hyper 212 Plus,

I normally use the ASUS P8Z68,

but when that’s not in the budget, Gigabyte is defiantly an alternative to look at and probably one of the first I would look for.
Answer #7
Thanks for the help and sorry for the late reply.
I checked out the NH-D14 and its good but it cost much. I’m thinking of getting the Antec KÜHLER H₂O 620 thats around 45 euro.
I’m not a asus fan(i have a asus mobo at moment and it won’t overclock at all because asus made a bad bios and didn’t fix it). I also checked asrock but people have problems with that too. The only ones that are left are MSI and Gigabye.
