^ This is the PC I am thinking of a.t.m. I've had recent thoughts about the cooler - Isn't it overkill? Is there any other cooler that would barely have any impact on the cooling performance, but cheaper?(Perhaps Water Cooling?)

I hope you can help me find a fine cooler for my build. Indeed, my budget is important and as you may have noticed (or not) I'd like to keep it cheaper than the Corsair H105. My budget is not important now, I just don't want to spend a lot of money on a CPU cooler.

Thanks for reading my thread, I hope you guys can help :)

P.S.
I am new to this, writing a thread, and ask ppl for help on the internet thing.
IF I do anything wrong you can straight up tell me.

I'm running the 8350 and the CM Hyper 212 EVO does a great job cooling it. Certainly worth the cash.

EDIT: I would like to remind you that you cannot run memory clockspeeds above 1866MHz with your CPU, without overclocking. You might want to choose cheaper RAM.
