ULookPrettyGood · Mar 6, 2014

I am planning on upgrading my CPU to a i7-4770K. I need to know
1. What CPU cooler i would need
2. What motherboard (I will be running a pretty good GPU, I will also need crossfire)

for the cooler Are you overclocking if so how much do you plan on?
also how many cards in crossfire do you plan?

for the cooler, you may want to consider your case at some coolers are tall.
For the motherboard are you going sli/crossfire? i suggest going for atx motherboards for you to be safe

For cooler I suggest 212 evo for air cooling as stated above, /corsair liquid cooling for liquid. Do keep in mind you will not get any performance gains from higher end motherboards. Main benefits are, looks, better cooling on motherboard, more sata ports/ram slots/pci slots, onboard audio, bandwitdh priority, and etc.
