Everything is good to go, I would take what you have and run with it, don't let anyone persuade you otherwise.

Thanks guys! I've been researching and comparing parts for weeks, it's good to know it was all good!
So is the thermal compound that comes with the CPU any good? Would a sepeartes one be better? I probably won't OC past 4.0ghz

For light overclocking it won't matter much. The one that comes with the cooler is fine. Although, I would buy a tube of Arctic Silver, if I was building it. However, it does take a little longer to "set in"
