Thanks guys for the advice,
re motherboard/socket - don't know how I missed that... thanks Misha.
So I think that I'll get an SSD for Win and ARMA2... Overlord convinced me.
And good point re 2 HDD instead of 1 - thanks Osku.
Increased PSU too.
Still haven't looked into the cooling.
And RAM- I think it is triple channel?
