Superclocked is better, but then you have to see wether its a reliable card or not. To me, the 3rd card seemed best due to the 155 reviews putting it at 5 stars, unlike the others. The third card you posted should be your choice.

Yea I'm new to overclocking, but I don't think I will that much, or none at all. I'm just not interested XD. I'm more interested in the computer itself.

Honestly, I didn't see anything wrong with that package. But with no VRM's, that's definitely a problem if your going to overclock past the 4 GHz range.

edit: But like you just said, if your not interested in overclocking then that board will do you just fine. MSI is known to have "Military precision" parts. Which means they are very tough to mess up.

Superclocked or nay?

And for the ram would it be ok if I were to use the same model and just stick another 2 sticks in it?

Oh yeah, superclocked, and it must be the exact same ram. Also, I believe super whatever is correct in that biostar has a better board offering than the MSI one.

Sandy bridge where only multi is increased? Fire? A heatsink would be advised but I wouldn't go that extreme..

The Hyper 212 is one of the best actually, alongside the DH-14 from Noctua. For the price of the 212, your getting a steal.

Yea, I originally thought of getting the Noctua, but I was like... I'm not really gonna do anything fancy, why pay 50 more dollars ~.~
