Building a MicroATX system, need cpu cooler advice and build opinion.

[Rezz]

Hi all,

I'm currently living in Japan and will be buying most of these components from a Japanese store so apologies for the lack of links and/or prices. I'm hoping someone can recommend a suitable cooler that will allow me to reach 4ghz but also fit within the confines of a mATX case on this motherboard.

Any opinions on the combination of parts are also welcome. I haven't built a pc for about 7 years and my last one was an Athlon X2 system during uni so I am pretty out of touch.

I'm also worried about RAM, mainly if vengeance heatspreaders will fit or if I need low profile stuff? Thanks.

Seems good. Get a Hyper 212 EVO cooler and a 120 GB SSD to finish it off IMO.

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm) didn't fit in my micro atx rig:

Cooler Master Elite 342 Black Micro-ATX Case
Asus P8Z77-M Intel Z77 Socket 1155 Ivybridge Ready Motherboard
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandy Bridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor

Couldn't put the side panel on because it was too tall. Just had to return it :-(
