I'm concerned with physical clashes between parts (memory and CPU heatsink/fan in particular), reusing my CPU heatsink/fan, and if alternative parts I overlooked are available for less money or better performance for the same cost. This site was extremely helpful when I build that system above back in 2008 and hopefully will be just as friendly and useful for the upgrade in 2014. Thank you in advance.
