Is it worth it

[silvernova0]

I am looking to do some minor overclocking with the Intel I5-750 just purely for gaming purposes.

This is the heatsink I have first had recommended to me.

cheap at 20 dollars, but worried about the bottom not being flush x.x

Then I was looking around and found this beast and was amazed it won't cover up any slots, and I am getting a larger mid tower, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026FCI2U/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Then lastly I found one kind of like the first but has a flush bottom and is only 10 dollars more then the first.

Wondering since I am probably just going to be doing minor, nothing over 3.6ghz, what should I do?

Of those your cheapest would be the 212+ at about $25 now.

http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/cpus/intel-core-i5-750/5/ : seems that you might get around 80ºC with TX-3 , at least with stress test; so if money is not a big problem, fo for V8 , it seems to be a great cooler
