[url]http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Moo/saved/3D2y[/url] I'm just about ready to commit to buying this, I've got the money and I can't wait to get this, but I just want to be absolutely sure that I won't be fucking myself over if I do.

I wouldn't use that CPU cooler. Since it's so close to the motherboard, it's going to have the problem where it ingests its own exhaust and be less efficient at cooling. From pictures I've seen on Google, you can put some pretty massive tower coolers in that case. But unless you're overclocking, I think something like this would be sufficient (and about half the price): [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118128[/url] [url]http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/zalman-cpu-cooler-cnps5xperforma[/url]
