Finally upgrading some of parts of my ageing rig and just wanted to get some opinions from a few of the folks on here.

This is what i have so far:

Corsair Obsidian 650D
Intel Core i5-3570K (Retail)
Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H
Noctua NH-D14 Dual Radiator CPU Cooler
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9

Not looking for any other parts for now just mainly looking to upgrade the big three.

Opinions I'm looking for are:

Motherboard - Probably overkill and should I drop down to a UD3H or D3H.
CPU Cooler - Again probably overkill even though I am planning to OC.
Memory - Whether to stick with this or the Geil black dragon or something different altogether

Thanks in advance :)
 
I think it's fine as it is:)

There are cheaper coolers that still offer amazing cooling potential (coolermaster 612s) or other high-end air coolers that shave a few quid off (Phanteks, Alpenfohn K2, BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 2)
 
The timings on the Kingston RAM are lower than the Black Dragon (lower timings is better).

The case is obviously your choice.

Theres not to much too suggest as there are only a few parts you are after.
