Cooling for 3930k

[bulldogninja]

I am building a pc with a 3930k and 16 ggb or RAM, no overclocking just lots of CPU intensive work. What kind of cooling should I get, should I get cooling for the RAM as well?

Hello bulldogninja;

What do you want to spend for CPU cooling?

As long as you have decent airflow through the case you shouldn't need auxiliary cooling for the RAM.

probably under $50, the one xtreme5 posted seems good, do you agree. Also will this ram ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231568 ) work with my 3930k? It doesn't specifically say its for x79 but I wasn't sure if maybe it would still work. Thanks!

yes, it should work fine, BTW which motherboard you have?

i'm going to purchase this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138346&Tpk=biostar%202011..... is that good? it has good ratings on the egg, even better than the mil-spec boards
