Budget but good> Cooler Master 212 EVOMore expensive and requires a large case and cools better than the evo> Noctua NH-D14
Smaller but noisy and cools as good as the NH-D14> Corsair 100i(liquid)
What are you looking to do, overclock or run quietly?
I'm not sure yet. It kind of depends on what case I end up getting.I'm not crazy about see-through side panels, will probably go with something that looks good but doesn't show off the insides.

If case size is not an issue and you want:
Air:
- Silver Arrow coolers are great.
Water:
- I like the Corsair H100i or if your case has 140mm fans the H110i.
but these are $100.00 coolers.
Personally I make my own cooling systems so I think this way. If you are looking for something cheaper let us know.

Great suggestions guys! I'll have to wait until I decide on a case before I make a decision.
i know case choice is personal, but i want to state that the case should have at least 160-165mm clearance (or higher if you use noctua nh u14s).
if you don't use all the 3.5" hdd bays, try getting a case with removable/resizable drive cages. it might increase case price, though. another thing about the drive bays is that if the hdds are held in vertical orientation instead of typical horizontal orientation, it'll impede airflow from the front.

Thanks for the info.Especially the measurements. Are those from the mobo socket or the actual case (160-165mm)

I strongly recommend you to go with either the NH-D14 or NH-U14S since they are of the best coolers you can buy. Here are two in depth reviews of the nh-d14 and nh-u14s handling a 3770K at 4.6Ghz.http://www.relaxedtech.com/reviews/noctua/nh-u14s/1

How do they compare to the SILVERSTONE Heligon HE01 140mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler? The specs seems similar but the Silverstone is a bit quieter....and you can add fans for even better cooling. (not as good a warranty though)

+1 storage222.. and anything but the Intel oneThanks. I checked on the discussion. Not to mention their customer service seems excellent. I posted a question with them about whether or not it would work with my board, late last night, and they already got back to me. I LOVE good customer service....and the 5 year warranty is better than the 1 year Silverstone.
