Hey guy's, I am looking to build this:

Mobo Gigabyte Ga-MA770-DS3
CPU Amd Athlon 5000+ BE
Memory 2gb G.Skill 800
GPU EVGA 8800GT 512 mb
Power Sup OCZ GamerXtreme 600
Hard Drive SeaGate 7200 250gb

Can someone recommend me an aftermarket cpu and north bridge cooler. I will do some overclocking. I have a case and other drives. If you see any improvements please list. My budget is around $600.00 dollars.

What kind of case do you have? The best coolers are usually big and may not fit in some smaller case.

If it's a big case get the Xigmatek HDT-S1283.

If it's smaller, maybe an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro would fit.

Thank's for the reply. Yes I have a midsize case that would fit it. I was looking at the cooler's they offer as a combo with the Amd 5000+ BE. It's the Rosewill RCX-Z4 and the Rosewill RCX-Z1. Sorry don't know how to post link's. Also, what do you think of the motherboard. Is there one better around the same price? I've notice that the Asus M2N 570 Sli Lifestyle board price hasn't dropped much. Is it that good?

You could get this one for example:

ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler - Retail $20, free shipping
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835185125

There are 4 people using it among the first 100 reviews for that CPU at newegg, so we know it works.

Here's a good review:

I don't really trust Rosewill much, TBH.

No idea about Asus M2N 570 Sli Lifestyle, sorry.

Does the motherboard chipset itself has alot to do with gaming or the GPU or both? I'm looking to get the best experience for $80.00 to $120.00USD, because I want to get the gigabyte ga-ma770-ds3 or is there one better?

No, not really, as long as you only have one video card.
