Both the same yes, just a different way of saying it.

Yes.

Remember to add a heatsink/cooler that fits 2011 too, Retail socket2011 CPUs don't include a heatsink like other Retail chips.

Just ensure you select low-profile RAM that doesnt have tall heatspreaders on them.

It also matches the Blue of the motherboard

Firstly dont link to competitors

Secondly, dont bother, RAM wont get hot.

Is that the Shinobi with USB3.0?

It all fits togther and you have the fastest single GPU card available selected so it should fly

How about a 64GB SSD+1TB HDD for similar cost to a 3TB HDD?

The case size is fine and will fit that all in:0

A SSD just makes things more responsive and snappy to use in windows, also boot times and level loading times are reduced, your frames per second will not increase.
