I'm looking to get the i7-3770k, and I heard that it can heat up quite quickly. I'm a first time builder, so I'm not even sure if this would be a smart buy, but I'm generally good with computers. Does anyone have any suggestions for CPU coolers for the i7-3770k?

Thanks.

The sticky has some good choices for first time builders on a CPU loop.

I like the XSPC RX 360 kit but that is me and I would be doing more with the system later so this would be a good starter for me.

I have a build log now if you would like to take a look at it and see where I have gone with water cooling since I started 15 years ago
