Hey guys,

Im putting together the following build for gaming/overclocking. I plan on pushing the i5-2500k to 4.0 GHz and light video overclocking.

ASRock 768 EXTREME4 Gen3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813157264

Sapphire HD 6950 2GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814102945

i5-2500k - got it from Microcenter, theyre having a sale $179.99 In Store Only

G.Skill Ripjaws X 16GB DDR3 1600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231429

Cooler Master HAF 922 Case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811119197

I was set on the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ but Ive read that it blocks the first memory slot. Im filling all 4 slots for a 16GB setup so this would be no good.

Is there a HSF or LCS for the CPU I could use for under $50?

I was looking at the Antec Kuhler 620, but apparently its not better than most air systems.

Thanks for your help.

Any news on the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme Cooler?

If it has anything to do with Thermaltake, it's a BAD IDEA.
