It is compatible, and will work fine as Vista said, but just curious if you plan on overclocking that CPU or not..?

It's OK, but may I suggest saving yourself some money and getting an i5 3570K over an i7 3770K because for gaming there is no benefit in going for the 3770K, the 3570K is just as fast for gaming. I'd only get the 3770K if you need the additional threads for stuff like video editing or CAD design and suchlike.

Yeah as it's an unlocked processor and you're getting that nice cooler, you really should look into overclocking it. :D You'd probably be able to get around 4.5GHz on that cooler with either a 3570K or a 3770K - they both overclock very well! :)
 
Case and motherboard also need to support it, so shop accordingly. You can tell if a processor is compatible with a cooler or not by looking under socket compatibility in the specs.
 
I'm currently running the 3770K and the Corsair h100.. works perfectly.

However, as others have said--go with the 3570K.. cheaper!

IvyBridge has dropped the ball in regards to Overclocking and although temps are very low at stock/mild overclock... they go up quite drastically compared to a 2600K for example.

I only have a 3770K because I have friends in the industry that can provide me with parts, engineering samples...etc.
 
thanks for all the help guys, i don't know johnnyp11 presented me with a build after i stated in a thread what i wanted in terms of performance and how i wanted to use my parts as long as possible before i replace them.



and I'm heading towards that, made a feel changes (getting 8 GIGS for ram instead of 16), getting a cheaper sound card (changed from PCI to PCI-E) with a headphone amps (for my beat pros) and going from dual GTX680s to a single.
 
Yeah a single GTX680 will be fine, and then it leaves you room to upgrade to a second one in the future if you would ever need it :)

yea nice, if my GTX 680 model doesnt need cooling, if i add a second one of the same model, i wouldn't need cooling either?



lol and actually i changed my mind I'm getting 16 GB of ram, i can't take the fact that my 13" macbook pro has the same amount of ram as my gaming rig
 
Well they have cooling on them no matter what. But thats Air Cooling.

If you would go for a Full Liquid Loop, then your First GPU would have a block and second one wont, will make it look, weird haha. I would Advise to have both GPU's cooled with Liquid if you decide on a full loop :)
