Intel i5 3570K £175 Intel i7 3770k £245 With one of these MB, checkout specs and don't pay for stuff your not likely to use. I have the P8Z77-V LX and the auto overclocking takes my i5 3570k from 3.4 to 4.2 Ghz with an average after market cooler. uk.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/Intel_Z778gb of 1600mhz ram GTX 660 ti minimum. But would probably go for a 680. Quality 600w minimum power supply, more if you go for 2 cards. Games at the moment don't use hyper threading so you'll get little performance benefit with an i7. But in 2years time who knows. |

 Lambourne, This is the kind of beast you need. Watch out for the energy draw though.  |

I have been fine with air cooling solutions. A good rated after market air cooling solution should be fine for the CPU. Intel has cooled down the CPU output over the last five years. For the last CPU, I used the stock fan without issue.

Lol. Wanna fight over who gets to build Lambourne's computer? The only thing I got from your post is that you're old.  I'm not old, I just started early. Fans will definatly do the job. I would only go for liquid cooling if I needed it to be quiet. Looks like you have a pretty good handle on the rest of it. |

Two issues with cooling using fans.
Noise. Although, fans have gotten a lo quieter than they used to be.
Dust. It is a good idea to periodically take the compressed air to the insides of your computer. If you waht too long, you will start having overheating problems.
