Am looking at putting together an IB i7 rig, so far have specced

a Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H mobo
an i7 3770K
have put in 16gb of Vengeance
a Lian Li PC-7FNWB case
a 7850 vid card

plus a few other bits and bobs but I'm completely stumped on what cooler to get. I was just going to get a Corsair H80 but having been through the last 5 odd pages in this section I can see that air coolers may still be the ones to go for.

The RAM I've specced at the mo is the tall stuff so can change that, I'm looking for the best cooler at around the same price point as the H80 so any words of wisdom would be appreciated :)
 
Cooling isnt really an issue with that chip so dont waste money on something very expensive. Personally would go with a Corsair H60 etc as they are good looking and quite, but a £20 cooler will do the job.
 
Thanks guys, what if I wanted to overclock the rig?

Also is the Samsung RAM a better choice then the low profile Vengeance stuff?
 
Decided to go with the Phantek (sp?) in the end and swapped the RAM for the LP CL8 Vengeance, both in a nice glowing blue colour :)
