I'll be using it mostly for gaming. Budget is around $1000-$1200 give or take. I already bought the video card, motherboard, psu, optical drive and the cpu. But what suggestions would you to make to the stuff that I havent yet bought? (I found better deals then most of these if you're wondering why I overdid. For example found that power supply for $104 after rebates from buy.com)

Need suggestions for a CPU heatsink/fan. Would prefer they come as a packaged deal so probably won't go with a true. Would also like it to be a fairly easy install as well.
Some are easier than others, I think a lot of the reviews are complaing about doing the install with the board in the case, since this is a new build, mount the cooler before you put it in the case. As I mentioned, you can also use a bolt-thru kit and not even use the push pins, sometimes you actually have to cut the pins off, I've done this on the last 2 I've done.
