1) I'm getting an i7 5820k. It does not come with a stock CPU fan.
2) I am not planning on overclocking.
3) I already know I need a CPU cooler even though I'm not OC'ing. And that's where I need help.
The build I am configuring is for gaming and video editing/rendering. Likely getting a gtx 970 GPU. But again, no overclocking. That said, what type of aftermarket cooler do I go for? Do I go for an imitation of a stock? Something a few dollars above? Or should I step it up to a bigger heat-sink?
I've heard a lot about the Hyper 212 Evo, but is that overkill and wasted money in my position?
I am new to this computer building scene. Specific guidance on what range of performance coolers I need to look at would be so much appreciated!
