I know the first one comes with that bracket, but is it necessary? I got a XIgmatek heatsink, so I'm not sure which one to go for

thanks

you need the second one; but why not just get this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16835233019. For me its cheaper cause of shipping costs from sidewinder.

I bought the second one off a friend who got his for like $6.25 shipped from sidewinder

I bought that one but used a plastic backplate from a coolermaster hsf. I didn't feel right with using a metal one.
