Hi ok i read that Ivybridge gets really hot. they say its hotter than the second generation cpu so i have to ask which one would benefit me for log run. My room gets very very hot already thanks to the sun and my plasma hd ready tv.
So i have to ask which cpu is best and would you recommend the Ivybridge or not?

ok so far i have thought of these parts
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual/Quad Channel Kit (CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9) [CMZ16GX3M4A1600C]

Asus GeForce GTX 550Ti 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card [90-C1CR70-L0UAY0YZ]

Asus P8Z68 DELUXE GEN3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard [90-MIBGE5-G0EAY00Z] (may change this later )

now need to know what power supply should i buy i do plan on overclocking this cpu and me be the gpu but cpu i will overclock for sure.
So i need your help in picking cpu advice and power supply
 
Well that is a good idea but when the time come to upgrading again i would just buy a new one any way.


My advice is that when you do choose a PSU, don't ever go for a cheap one. I can't say this enough that you should always buy a decent PSU, and you may want to look at a higher wattage one, if you ever plan to upgrade in the future, like adding another GPU etc. :)
 
Hi ok so what cooler would you recommend as some times i leave my computer on over night so what would you recommend ?
Also for the cpu overclocking i am going to use Asus auto overclocking tool its the best and will restart many times to find the best stable clock speeds.

OcUK H²Flo Extreme Liquid Dual Fan CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1366/1155/1156/775/AM2/AM3) [ECO II-120FB]
