Building my PC

This GPU:
Evga Geforce Gtx 760 Sc 4Gb Displayport Hdmi Dvi-I/Dvi-D Graphics Card With Acx Cooler 04G-P4-2768-Kr: Amazon.ca: Computers & Tablets
IT has a very good cooler, better than the PNY and twice the GDDR5 (dedicated graphics RAM) .

Yes the CPU will come with a cooler, it's very handy to keep papers from blowing away. Even running without overclocks Haswell can get very hot, and it's very noisy, like a small jet turbine.

I recommend this one at least. I have it and installed 2 fans in push/pull configuration.

Ok Thank you. Does that Cooler Master fan needs paste before putting it? and Is that also gonna fit in my MoBo?

Looks like you are well on your way. It's fun and I'm sure you will build a great PC at good value for money.
Just one thing to pay attention to is the thermal paste when fitting your CPU with an after market cooler. Arctic Silver is a good paste and the application instructions are here
Arctic Silver, Inc. - Intel® Application Methods
Even if you don't use Arctic Silver, their guidelines are worthwhile.
Don't overdo the application of the paste. More can be worse.
Also, it's not Sir (appreciate the politeness) it's Michael.

Thanks. The CPU comes with an cooler right and do I have to put filler in that?

I need to find RAM. Im thinking of this

Good choice on the ram.

And the GPU.

Yes sir. I bought everything now can't wait to get it.

The Artic Silver link (post 36) shows how to apply the thermal paste for different CPUs. I use high purity isopropyl alcohol 99.7% Helmar ISO PRO and coffee filters make good lint free cleaners.

I've also read the Haswell CPUs run hot like mentioned above and have no idea how they behave when overclocked. I'd be monitoring the core temperatures when your system is up and running.

Ok Thanks for the info

In case I missed, what PSU do you have?

Im not sure yet but I am thinking of getting 600 and up Watts. Do you recommend any for my build?
