okay... thinking of buying Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy bridge and Thermalright HR-02 CPU Cooler with two Thermalright 120mm 2000RPM fans... will it have a great potential for overclocking my cpu ?

You'll get to around 4.5/4.6ghz easily enough for 24/7.
Higher for short term benching

What matters more for the games would be your gpu, it hast a much larger impact on fps than a cpu has.
And i agree on the 2000rpm fans, i dont think you want to be hearing those for a longer period, if the standard fan on the hr02 just doesnt cut it you might need another but try it first.
If you want to buy a decent fan for it from the beginning you might be looking in some more potent coolers to begin with (like the nhd14) because the extra fan if its a good one will raise the price quite a bit.

Yeh, you can run anything at max. Also, why 16gb of RAM - totally unnecessary
Innocent159

future upgrades like crossfire and maybe upgrade to i7

Why would 16gb of RAM affect upgrading to crossfire or an i7?

so you suggest i buy the 8gb kit?

Yes.
Windows is coded in 32 bit, as are all games, and pretty much every program you're going to use - meaning windows itself can only use 4gb, and games can only use 4gb - so 8gb is all you need.
You only need more for programs like video editing and rendering programs that are coded to use more.
Or if you're RAMcaching.

8gb (for win and ram caching) and 8gb for games

You plan on running two games at once?
Innocent159
New member
no... but will the 8gb also be enough for online gaming? and top much ram isn't a problem right?

8GB is plenty for gaming, you really do not need more. Adding more RAM isn't a problem, it's just an unnecessary expense.
