Hi hoping to order early next week do you see any problems with this build

Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Intel Z77 Socket 1155 Ivybridge Ready Motherboard 

Intel Core i5 3570K,1155, Ivy Bridge, Quad Core, 3.4GHz, 5 GT/s DMI, 650MHz GPU, 6MB Smart Cache, 34x Ratio, 77W, Retail   

256GB Crucial RealSSD M4, 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s SSD, MLC-Flash, 500Mb/s, Write 260Mb/s *New Version   

the rest is from my old system 

NZXT Lexa S
8gb Crucial Ballistic DDR3 1333mhz/PC3-10600 (7-7-7-24) 1.65v
XFX HD 6970 ATI - AMD Radeon Graphics Card - 2GB

24” Samsung SM2433BW Black Widescreen LCD, 1920x1200

would i benefit much if i changed my ram from the 8gb 4x2 1333 to 8gb or 16gb of this one 
8GB (2x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Jet Black Low Profile, PC3-12800 (1600), Non-ECC, CAS 9-9-9-24, XMP, 1.5V

Hi cookiebun

Your new build seems fine to me. Just make sure before you start that the BIOS is new enough to support your Ivybridge chip. I wouldn't bother changing your memory really. You won't see a lot of difference and it all depends on the type of use that you put it to anyway. If you are doing a lot of Photoshop or something like that then "yes" the more the better but for everyday use it's fine.

Cheers Dark Mantis, the PC is mainly for games but i do the odd bit of video editing and burning it to dvds so i might just put the 16gb in when i have the chance it wont harm it, I will probably be in touch when i start to build it. One last thing thermal paste I used Zalman thermal paste on this build is there a more modern or better one out now how about Artic Silver 5 any coments about that.
