Hey guys,

So recently I've been developing a build which I plan to buy once I have saved up enough money. So far, I have this: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2JeL1

The only thing I'm worried about as of now is if the stock AMD CPU cooler would be enough for general gaming on games like BF3 (I don't mind medium or high settings- just as long as it's at 1080p! :p) or Metro 2033.

I know my GPU would generally be fine (since three fans on a GPU definitely isn't over-kill) but I'm worried about my CPU and I honestly do not want to replace it.

I don't plan on over-clocking it at all (I think the current specs of the CPU is fine to be honest), but I have read around that I do need a CPU cooler for games of the level of Battlefield.

Also, I'm a bit skeptical on how to use wireless cards- do I install it on my motherboard, or what?

(yes I'm not that great at computer hardware, I acknowledge that. XD)

PS: Budget is 525 pounds max. I will not go over it. Under 500 is preferred.

Thanks, guys!

Temps would depend on your ambients as well. Never had the stock cooler so I can't really help you there.

The Wi-fi adapter would plug into a PCI port on your motherboard which is the port right under the blue PCIE in the middle of the motherboard.
