I think it is time to replace my aging system. I first got it back in 2004 and upgraded the motherboard and CPU back in 2007. I want to be able to play games such as Battlefield 3, Star Wars The Old Republic, and Rift.

I didn't include the thermal paste for the CPU so I know I need to add that as well. Anything else I am missing? I am not worried about a Sound Card because I end up using headphones anyway so I figure why spend the money when the on-board will be fine. I also don't plan on going SLI anytime soon but may consider it in the future.
