Buying a new Mobo and CPU

Alright so I want to enjoy SWTOR (even more) than I do now. Looking through my system I've come to the conclusion that the mobo and CPU are the oldest in there (or so I think). Here are my current specs:

Motherboard: ASUS P5W DH Deluxe
CPU: Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53 GHz (Overclocked a little so 2.84ish)
Memory: 4gb
VGA: nVidia GTS 250

RAM (Two types): PC2-8500 DDR2-SDRAM Corsair CM2X1024 ---------- PC2-5300 DDR2-SDRAM Nanya Tech. NT1GT64U8HB0BY-3C

Power Supply: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V v2.2 (Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V v2.2 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply)


Here are my potential purchases: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard (Newegg.com - ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard)

Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz LGA 1155(Newegg.com - Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000 BX80623I52500)



Now to my concerns. Will my other specs (mainly the power supply) support these items? Should I use any other cooling for the CPU?
Or if there is anything else you can think of that I may need to make sure this works properly when/if I get it.

If you need any other information from me let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the replies sirs. Now I imagine (based on the price) that would be the low end memory? Or have I not been looking at memory prices lately?

Again thanks for the help. Now moving on to memory. I can probably spend $60 or so on memory. If you have any suggestions as to what company makes a decent memory stick. If not, no problem I can probably find it myself.

And again, thank you. Fit the budget and decent reviews (for the 2 that are there), looks like this is my memory.

Just throwing this out there, 6870 performs way better for the marginal price difference than the 6850 if he goes for the new gpu.

when you buy it can i have it?

I also want to buy one.

You'll need to upgrade your ram to DDR3

This should suffice.

Newegg.com - Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model 996770

Other than that everything should be compatible.
