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.

[Lethal Seraph]

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:

Why get an I5 other than overclocking get the Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor it got 8 threads http://ark.intel.com/nl/products/80910/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E3-1231-v3-8M-Cache-3_40-GHz yes it got turbo boost
