well a budget wouldnt help, and what you want to use it for. Deffo forget the GPU and the CPU cooler.

Budget around 1000 (in euro

)

Used for gaming mainly

What Cooler and GPU should i go for instead (although 6970 did not seem bad at all

)

Your money is better spent on a 570 for sure.

Changed to 570. (No real price difference so perfect)

And an NH-D14 cooler would be your best investment.

Those are about 70 though, what would be my cheaper second choice?

A cheaper Noctua? Honestly I'm not entirely sure on that one, of course I forgot to ask the all important question for the cooler, will you be planning on overclocking?

Yes i was, does not have to be a noctua, just a well performing (but slightly cheaper) cooler. If you know any of course.

Appreciate the advice.

This is the next best from Noctua: My link

If that's too expensive then tinytomlogan used this cooler in a Home server with a light overclock: My link

and I believe that second cooler gave good temps, bear in mind this was an i3 he overclocked.

Thank you.

I can find both at the same price so i'll go with NH-U12P.

Thanks again

Mugen 2 isn't too expensive and cools well.

NINJA3! or the mugen2, good prices good cooling. OK d14 is uber best in the world but its nice to be diff.?

After reading a couple of reviews I believe that the mugen2 rev.B would be the best choice. Just have to check if it will fit in the case.

Thanks guys.
