Why not get a Cryorig H7 cooler?

 

P.S Get a new PSU and don't cheap out on it.

I would still get a new PSU you want a cheap or generic PSU as you shouldn't cheap out on a PSU

damn so many replies in such a short time thanks guys LTT forums rule!

 

as for the the power supply i have a corsair cs750m (new) that a friend of mine gave me so i shouldn't to buy a new one.

 

I was looking into getting the evo212 and most likely will now that more people have recommended it to me, however i really like the aesthetic of the Zalman.

H7 compared to the Evo 212 is a bit better for an extra $10 and I think it's worth it. Pretty easy to install as well. Don't you have a color-theme going on? I've seen the board and the GPU you listed is blue and red.  :lol:
