Should I worry about temps while gaming if I dont oc or mildy oc?
This will be the cooler:Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

I'm hearing so many ppl having temp problems and it's making me worry alot.
 
Solution
if you dont overclock, assuming the heatsink and thermal paste are applied properly, you shouldnt have to worry about temps at all. if you overclock just use a program such as coretemp, hwmonitor, etc to monitor your cpu temp. if it gets too high, tone the overclock back a little.

That is a very good cooler, and should get you at least a mild overclock without temp worries

its not "better" really, the 3570k will overclock more with less heat, but the haswell (4670k) is more efficient.

That being said, some people are saying its a better value because it performs so close to the 4670k while costing less. either one will be great for gaming.
