Your CPU choice strongly depends on what you intend to use it for. Also your budget will be enough for a mobo/cpu/ram upgrade.

The only thing with the Core i5-3570K is it seems to have heat problems. Any suggestions on after market coolers I should look into?

Only when you overclock it too high like 4.5Ghz

Heat problems happen only if you increase the voltage to overclock (it doesn't occur for mild overclocking around to 4.2 or 4.3 mHz). As for aftermarket coolers, the Hyper 212 +/Evo is a great bang for you buck. The Noctua D14 is also popular, but also more expensive.

So at this point i think ill be going with bigcyco1's build except with a different motherboard. The G.Skill Sniper ram goes better with a GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H. Many thanks to jcec92 for the MB suggestion!
