I'm not a pc gamer by any extent. This pc would actually only play SWTOR (Star Wars the Old Republic (though hopefully at Max Settings), and if I ever go back, perhaps WOW). Predominately, this would be a general use PC that sees a lot of multitasking, though no video editing or anything of that sort. This is my first build, and though I'm not overclocking I do live by the South Florida, (so hot).

Do I need that cooler listed? If not should I just get rid of it and that's that? (the less money being used the better for other reasons). Could I get near similar performance with a different graphics card at almost the same price? And is the power supply too much/enough?
