i upgraded the gpu to the EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2662-KR GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card. It was a bundle on newegg with the cpu.

Maybe get a different cpu cooler. I own a Hyper 212 Plus it cools fairly well but it's very tall and the mounting broke.

It should work. Though this should be in Build Planning.
