I am currently buying parts for my build and already have some, but i still need to buy aftermarket cooling for my cpu. I can't decide whether to get an Corsair h100, cooler master hyper 212 evo or a more high end air cooler (Phanteks PH-TC14PE 140mm UFB or Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 140mm and 120mm SSO) I'm up for suggestions. My build right now is for college and video editing, but i built it so, later I'd buy a video card for gaming,something like a Radeon HD 7950 or 7970; waiting for the prices drop. I will be doing some light overclocking ( 4 to 4.5 max) just because that's the beauty of building your own PC especially with a K processor. So i am aware i need good cooling. But I'm guessing i won't be stressing the cpu as much since I'm not going to be doing any intensive gaming right away, even the video editing i will be doing, will not be nothing too demanding since i just started. so i really need advice on something that will be reasonable for my build and purpose. Budget is not an issue but i obviously don't want spend extra money on something that won't be within reason.
