Cooling is the main thing i am worried about, the CPU is very expensive and i don't want to put it under hot temperature...so if there are better coolers then the H70 please let me know...my budget for cooling is around $400~$500...H70 is like $104...but if there is higher performance a bit higher cost I'd like to know...Thank You!

The "twin tower" coolers such as the silver arrow and Noctua won't fit on that classified board with its tall chipset cooler.

The H70 will take you to about 4.3GHz or so safely depending on what your voltage needs to be. The HAF 932 has good ventilation. Why no HAF-X though? ;)

If this is for gaming i would throw away almost everything you have listed...

I would get an SLI enabled P67 motherboard, 16GB of RAM, 2x GTX 580 Hydrocopper2 (or aftermarket water blocks and two regular 580's), Core i7-2600k, a CPU water block, dual loop water setup (one for CPU one for GPU's), Revodrive x2, 120GB SSD, 4x 2TB samsung f4, Lian Li PC-X2000F, and finally the Antec high current 900w PSU. (high price estimate of $4,400 more reasonably around 3,500 if you shop around and get quality NOT flashy parts.)



And at the end of the day i still used less money then the rig in the OP (which cost $6,000+).

Oh and OP wtf do you need a 1.3GB/s SSD for? If this is a gaming rig that is beyond stupid. no offence.

Thanks for either a troll post, or a good laugh because of your utter incompetence with money.

Yeah you could "step down" to a Revodrive X2 480GB...and pocket a cool $1k. (Or literally cool your PC with that $1k.)

With that budget, Go Water.

If you don't want the hassle of water, get the H70, or another top air cooler.

For Air cooling?

Its pretty much almost the same within a few C's and thats if u have a scream fan attached to it.

For a ground built LC system.. try reading the link below in my sig and see if watercooling is really for you.
