You can't beat this for value for money.

however, if you are willing to spend a little more, then this is arguably the best:

Depends if you intend on overclocking

I think i had one of the prev models of them in my old system, actually was orite!

You recon this is the best i can get then?

I donta overclock and i think that may be a bit steep, its already costing 560 to get the system up and running. When ive added all the other bits in its over 700.. I recon i would get that if this one dosnt work as well but i dunno..

I think the first one will do a good job, itll be used for gaming, photography, photoshopping, browsing the net, music, watching films, media centre is going on it so ill sometimes watch TV through it..

I like the second one, looks like a beast.

As for airflow and sound, how does it compare? My most important 2 details on my coolers tbh.. I want high airflow with low sound, but would mix between.
