If you consider the price and the fact that there is (semi) passive cooling planned, probably about the same or better bang for the buck.
 
Also with a i5 760 without OC i don't think there should be any tangible difference in degrees.
 
 
If you had the money and wanted to do a killer OC on a hot head like ivy bridge, i would probably recommend the Noctua one. But in this case, go with the Mugen 3 or Ninja 3.
 
 
Edit: But don't take my word for it, try to grab some benchmarks and reviews of google

Good point, the H220 is pretty expensive compared to most coolers. The pump is also loud but you can turn it waaay down and it still performs amazingly. For air cooling you could go for D14 or the Noctua one that was suggested above.

Depending on your budget:

King of air coolers. Very quiet.

Bascically lower profile weaker D14

Awesome bang for buck cooler. Just lower the fan speeds.

1156, 1155 and 1150 are all compatible when it comes to coolers. I don't know what you're budget is, but a great cooler that I recommend is the Swiftech H220 (it's a all in one liquid cooler). It's very quiet and the temperatures are very good as well.

I'm SLOWLY digging out from under the mess of this new editor.  BRING BACK TEXT TAGS. PRETTY PLZ.

FAQs:

What's the most important thing I can do to improve my audio experience?
 
 
I have a low impedance headset. People tell me that onboard audio is terrible and a dedicated soundcard will improve my audio experience. How much will it really improve?
 
What is a DAC? How is it different from a soundcard? Which is better?
 
So, do I need a better soundcard or external AMP/DAC or is my onboard good enough?
 
I think I need a better soundcard. What should I look for in a sound card or an external AMP/DAC?
 
What should I look for in a pair of headphones?
 
I was thinking about buying good high impedance headphones in the future. Should I just get the amp/dac or soundcard now that would drive them, and buy the headphones later?
 
Should I get a cheap soundcard with virtual surround like dolby headphone or use a headphone with discrete drivers?
 
But I want a surround sound headset! What are the advantages of a good pair of headphones with a cheap mic?
 
OK, fine, but can't you just tell me what to get already and be done with it?  This is all very confusing!
