What processor should I get?

There are a lot of different Cooler Master Hyper 212 products out there, so yeah, make sure you get a good one. There's Evo, +, and some other ones, but I had heard good things about the Evo from admin89 so I went for it.

Yep, this CPU cooler is decent and enough for overclocking. But if you want a high end CPU cooler, a cooler from Noctua is the best choice. Little bit expensive, yeah, but worth the money. Wink

I don't have any budget problems ATM, so I will most likely go with a cooler from Noctua, should I go for any particular one from them, or is any recent one fine?
Also, just one final question, these are all liquid coolers, right? How hard are they to use and/or maintain for the average person? I have never used one before, hence why I ask, don't want to end up doing something stupid and screwing my system over D :

No they are actually all air coolers except corsair h-series and are sufficient if you dont plan to do some extreme overclocking
Also if you get 3570k and overclock it you will be able to play Last Story fine.
It doesnt have to be fullspeed 100% of the time to be playable

Thanks for clearing that up! I will get one from Noctua then. And yeah, I don't need 100% all the time, but as long as it doesn't go like, um, down to 5 FPS or something I will be fine, thankfully I don't have huge graphical or speed requirements >>; Was just a minor wish I expressed in the OP.

Again, seriously, thanks a ton you peeps, this will help me a lot <3
Hopefully I won't need to do so, but if by any chance I require help with overclocking I will return here once my desktop is built.
