You dont need an aftermarket cooler, stock coolers are included with locked CPUs. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

I know, but the rmx 650W is 5$ more than the g2. that would get rid of the potential of the candy bar :C

yeah, but I know some people would prefer larger SSD over a better performing one. depends. I definitely wouldn't suggest the MX300 275gb over the 250Gb samsung 850 evo.
