Hi I havent built a pc in a few years and been out of the loop, please give recommendations for cpu and mobo, for an Core i5 or i7 build, and ram, purchasing from new egg thx...
 
Three things that will help with recommendations:
1. Budget
2. Usage
3. Are you overclocking

A cooler is necessary coolermaster has decent aio for the same price as a good air cooler if you have room (240 seidon for example). A new HDD for storage are cheap as well, 60-120 for a 1-4 Tb
