Loved all the help eveyone has given. I've decided on the i5 2500k, wheni comes avalible again. I don't overclock but for 10 more buck I might in the future any way. I was thinkin on get a cpu cooler H50 but been seeing reviews where some were leaking after a year due to rust. I saw a A70 seemmed like it might do just as well and its half the price and doesn't take as much room. What does everone think would the will the A70 be good enough. Thanks again I got my case get 1000w psu today what's holding me up is the darn intel issue.

Just fyi I bought Thermaltake V9 Black Edition ATX Computer Gaming Chassis with Dual Oversized 230mm Ultra-Silent Cooling Fans VJ400G1N2Z Mid Tower case.

have you tryd


what i found on reviews was "okay" , but not the best for the money
go look for reviews, there should be enough to read about cpu coolers .... i'll stick to air

well for starters GREAT choice on the !!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm pretty sure {uZa}jobbones runs the same case or one very similar and talk about a cool running rig with great air flow!

as for the heatsync that is always a tough decision. the one you showed here , looks like over kill which is GREAT the heatsync is one of the most important components you will put in your pc since you are not over clocking well at least at this point just a general stock fan would be more then enough to cool you down. i'm running an I7 920 (2.66 ghz) and over clocked to 4ghz with this heat sync . and cooling has never been an issue. stick with air cooling and get a good thermal compound like this

good luck on the decisions and keep us posted!

Plus with all the fans and air flow my case has it should do great. Now if they will put my cpu and mobo back on the market ill be ready. Guess I h ave yo wait til april or march. Thanks again for all the help.
