Hey all

My brothers E8500 and 4870 are now in dire need of replacement
Since I built the first one I'm happy to use the antec 300, psu, optical, hdd ect

Planning to change the rest with:

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 WindForce 3x OC Rev2 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **Black PCB** £179.99

Retail Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £169.99

Kingston HyperX 16GB (2x8GB) PC3-14900C10 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Red (HX18C10BRK2/16-OC) £119.99

Asus P8Z77-V LX Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £85.99

He games at 1080p, I have a 2500k, so familiarity is why im staying with intel, as far as I read the performance difference in most games between a 2000/3000/4000 intel K is about 5-8%.

What I would like to know is:

What is the best cooler to get with this (will change the cpu to OEM when orderin ;) ) for overclocking that fits in an antec 300
Is this combo (mobo ram cpu) going to clock well (aka 4ghz+, not greedy anything stable above 4)

Budget is £600 with a flex for logical best performance gains within a price step :)
 
OCZ ModXStream Pro 500w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply
Not sure if its compatable with haswell

I like the look of your suggestions, I was going to look for a good SSD as well :)
