The large tube of AS5 is not needed. Just get a small tube...I have a small tube and have done maybe 15 computers and still have some.

That fan is expensive...not unless you really want the chrome/silver look. I hope you can deal with the noise of a 90CFM fan. It will be much louder than you think!

I guess I could get the smaller size of compound, but I figured having never used it before I should get some extra in case I mess up. It said it was a black fan but i'm not really sure, I just saw a high air flow and low enough noise rating and jumped for joy! I'll try a little less air flow I guess.

Your RAM is red/black and so is your motherboard. I would look at CPU coolers that stay in the color theme

If you want the Coolermaster 212 like you posted...you could hit the fan blades with a light coat of red paint. That would be the cheapest way.

Just throwing ideas at you...
