Anything I should change? Is everything compatible?

Thanks

As far as I can see the spec looks good.

But one thing why the V10 cooler? Why not something like this with these in a push and pull set up?

Spec looks good, one thing is the V10 cooler, for £98 I would say personally not worth it, I would rather go custom water cooling or save some cash and look at the Noctua - again this a personal choice

 

[fizzle-187]

Would the V10 cooler be efficient for overclocking though?

 

[fizzle-187]

I suppose you can you link me to an alternative cooler then?

 

[RJC]

One of these or this

I use the Thermalright with my I7 (Intel version) setup running at 4ghz, but you will need to buy a fan.

Another good cooler is this one again you will need to purchase a fan and fan clips.

Cheers buddy, I'll be going with the Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler.
