You don't need arctic silver, the paste that comes pre applied to the TTower is as good as AS5.

if you do want to buy some thermal paste so that you have some in, go for either OCZ freeze, or arctic cooling MX-2.

If you do want to apply your own, you'll need something to clean off the existing stuff, for example Akasa TIM cleaner, as sold on OcUK, or isopropyl alcohol, as sold in chemists.
 
Well aren't Intel going to release the i5 processors in the sometime near future? Their supposed to be stopping production of the low spec i7's and concentrating on the higher spec expensive ones, and i5 won't be compatible with an i7 socket from what I've heard.
