Hey, this is the build I'm planning on getting:

(GPU and PSU already purchased.)
While I was researching a bit, I found this information in the Gigabyte GA-853-HD3 manual:
"* Due to a Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than the size of the physical memory installed."
I'm completely confused by this, since the motherboard supposedly supports the Intel Core i5-4570 CPU, which is a 64bit Haswell CPU. Can anyone shed some light on what the above quote means, and if I need to change the motherboard?
