Is overclocking difficult?

I have that cooler. I've got 4.3GHz on my 2500K with it and temps are around 30-35C at idle and 60-65C under load. I'd say it's a good cooler and you should be able to get a 3570K to 4.0GHz with it. :)

So are you saying that the 2500K is better than the 3570 for overclocking?
 
Well I know that the 3570K usually runs hotter than the 2500K once overclocked. Both are great overclockers though, I was just saying that I got my 2500K to 4.3GHz so you should easily be able to get your 3570K to 4.0.

Oh, ok :). Do you think it would be a good idea to get the 2500K instead then?
 
Depends... if I had the choice between the two now I'd go for the 3570K. Performance wise they are very similar, but if the 2500K is a lot cheaper then it makes sense to go for one.

Hmm OK, I'll think about it :).
It's going to take me ages to save up for this computer :/ It's going to cost about $1100, hopefully I'll get some parts at christmas or something :P.
