stock is fine for gaming, the chip cannot be overclocked so an aftermarket cooler is optional.
for me went from 100+ seconds to under 20
you can but you will hit the storage wall on just an SSD, they are much smaller than HDDs
when you have 2 sticks you can enable dual channel. Think of it like this, you have an assistant but can only talk to them on the phone. your boss has two assistants and he can talk to both assistants over a dedicated phone line at the same time. two phone lines, two conversations. that is like dual channel, each memory stick will have a dedicated communications line (channel) with the CPU, and the CPU can talk to each (dual) at the same time.
two fans, good to go from my view. a good GPU...

Thank you so much guys for all the responses.
Is the stock CPU cooler good enough for gaming and is it as quiet as the after market ones, and will it extend the life of a CPU if I go without the stock one?
How much faster is the bootup time with SSD vs Hard drive?
Can i just get an ssd alone without the haddisk then?
So, the ram works better if you split them into two rather than single channel?
Any suggestions for the graphic card than the one I posted?
Is ultrawide monitor good for gaming?
I am kinda new to all this, so please feel free to comment.
Cheers

depends on you. but usually the more you can see the more you can SEE and that can help in gaming.
