hello, all
I'm looking at a build based around the core i5 2500k. Usage is for general computing with light gaming (Starcraft 2). the the i5 2500k is probably overkill for that, but i also enjoy having a really good computer for no real reason! (this build is for personal fun as well)
goals:
overclocked 2500k
quiet pc, stylish look that won't scare off my gf
Question:
what is a good cooler that will sustain the 2500k @ around 4.4GHz? I've looked at the H70, but will something like the H50 (with one less fan) suffice? Or what if I change the fans on either of these coolers?
Im looking at the antec p183. does anyone have experience with how quiet this case is?
I appreciate your help. The overall budget is $1000 CAD before tax (which is 13%)
