Choosing a new cpu/motherboard

Trying to pick one of these sale options. Any advice and recommendations is appreciated. Also I WILL NOT be overclocking.

*Prices appear different in the links because i can not link the sale items for boxing day (Canada's Black Friday)*

I7 875k + MSI P55-GD85 = 439.99

I7 950 + MSI X58A = 469.99

I7 950 + MSI X58M = 439.99

I am also not sure what heatsink would be good for the processor since it appears to not be included.

Im looking to spend under 500 for a processor and motherboard. I am not limiting myself to these options but based on my research they seem to be the best bang for the buck. I am in Canada so I can only use canadian websites such as....

http://www.ncix.com or http://memoryexpress.com/

Thanks again for helping a guy out.

P.S. I know this is motherboards section but if you have any recommendation on DDR3 memory that is also appreciated.
