I am having a hard time choosing between these two builds, so I hope you can help me decide.
Build one (ATX)
Case: FD Arc Midi
GPU: ASUS 7850
CPU: 2500k / 3570k
PSU: Need help finding a cheap, modular and at least 80+ one ~600W
Monitor: Dell 2312 IPS or another since I play both BF3 and WoW?
MoBo: ASRock Z75 Pro3
Build two (mATX)
Case: FD Core 1000
GPU: ASUS 6870 / 7850
CPU: i3-2120 / 2500k / 3570k
PSU: Need help finding a cheap, modular and at least 80+ one ~600W
Monitor: Dell 2312 IPS or another since I play both BF3 and WoW?
MoBo: ASRock H61M / ASRock H77M / ASUS P8Z77-M / ASRock Z77 Extreme4-M
I don't need any further parts, but the ones linked. (like a HDD, DVDROM, OS etc.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd really like a silent, cool, cheap, and compact build, with great bang for the buck. Therefore I am uncertain whether to go with 2500k or 3570k or even the i3-2120.
1. Also I don't know which motherboard to pick if I chould choose to pick the mATX build.
2. I would be great if I could fit in a mATX case, but can you find aftermarket heatsinks that fit into the Core 1000?
3. Does the 3570k need an aftermarket heatsink in order to run cool and quiet at stock clocks?
