New build, few questions

This computer is going to be used for games, I will use my old 8800GTX and my WD Raptor. Yesterday I ordered the case, I am not sure on the motherboard, I went with the first Nvidia/ASUS board I found, what would be the best board to go with? Also should I change the memory to the faster dominator RAM...?

Lian-Li PC V2000B PLUS Black Aluminium Full-Tower (No PSU)

1 X Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 3.16GHz (1333FSB) - Retail

1 X Asus Striker II Formula nForce 780i (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

2 X Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 TwinX (2x1GB)

1 X Corsair TX 750W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant PSU

Also what is the best CPU Fan & Heat sink to buy?

Tuniq tower or Artic Cooler Pro Freezer 7

The power supply may be a bit overkill. The 620 corsair would suffice.

Thanks for your reply! I was just reading a review about the mobo and it is not meant to be great overclocking... any suggestions for a main board???

Thanks!
