I just suggest you look at all the features Second: If you get Liquid Cooling, unless you are entirely sure how to install it yourself, have someone else do it. Because it can very, very, very easily destroy your computer. Lastly: For gaming, headsets > sound systems, soundwhoring ftw. themuffinman said: OC that cpu!!! ive got mine stable at 4.2 and temps have never gotten over 45c Overclocking is generally overkill on 99% of cpus, unless you got a really old CPU that doesn't match up, where overclocking can make it faster and better, otherwise it's just a waste of energy.
