I am currently in the process of making a gaming computer and I would like to know what cooling method I should use on my CPU. I will be doing SLI at some point as well and will probably be water cooling my GPUs eventually. However, I would like to know if water cooling is worth it right now with my i7-4770k so i don't have to do it in the future or if i will be okay buying an aftermarket fan and heatsink. Thanks for the help.
 
Solution
well, if not overclocking the cpu then the stock cooler is fine, but i would recommend the hyper 212 evo, for only $30 and it can OC quite a bit.

So no water cooling block is even needed then?
