Hi all,
I am building my parents a computer with my older i7-920, eVGA X58 MOBO, and 12 GB of G.SKILL RAM so I will be needing some new parts for myself. Here is what I have chosen so far:
CPU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116501
RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231568
I am stuck on choosing between 2 motherboards and 2 coolers:
MOBO:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131821
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128552
CPU Cooler:

or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118097
The system will be housed in a CoolerMaster COSMOS 1000 so space is not an issue.
Use - the computer will be used for gaming and school (CAD/ArcGIS), and I do not plan on overclocking much.
Budget - I'd like to keep it under 1,000 USD.
Please feel free to recommend any other motherboards / CPU coolers, I am open to anything.
Thanks for reading.
