I personally wouldn't get the h50, especially at that price. If you must have a closed loop kit then get the h60 or h80. However, lots of good ol' tower coolers will cool as well or better, but more quietly and for the same price. I'm talking about Thermalright Venomous-X, Archon, Silver Arrow, Noctua's NH-D14, Promilatech Megahalems, the new Phantek double-tower to name a few. The hydro and kuhler lines are really only for people who have some aesthetic aversion to heatsinks.
Edit: also the power supply isn't a great choice right now. 750W is way overkill for a single 570, it would however be plenty for 2600k+570SLI if you want that option. Either way, don't get the first version TX750, it's outdated tech now. If you're a Corsair fanboi, get this for the same wattage. $10 cheaper and much better on basically every front. Other companies can offer better stuff or the same for cheaper if you actually look past the Corsair badge.

well i have done comparisons and nothing really holds up to the h50 it is time tested to be one of the best, and i am ready to pay for it. i am planning on bring that 2600k to 4~4.5 at least and i need a system that can do it. Air flow just doesnt cut it. i have tested time and time again and water beats air any day
and the PSU i want is out of stock, but yes i know it is overkill and it is the PSU i am using currently, and the reason i am a corsair Fanboy is because of their support and warranty and non the less the quality of there products. I dont care about other "cheaper" i want quality thats why this build is not 1000$ i want this to last me

That is simply not true.

The Noctua D14 does a fine job with my 4.7GHz 2600k. Plus it's quieter than a H50.

Yeah. Sorry Nvidia is the chipset for me i HATE ATI/AMD so i will pay for quality and performance. And the 570 does out perform the 6950 and i am ok with that, and i dont have the budget for a second card. and it is better to just stick with one card rather then SLI 2 it just gets messy
u didnt look at my other posts,
1) i am getting the DH 14
2) p8p67 is pretty much the only somewhat good mobo in the 1155 socket range, plus i love the new bios, but i know it is buggy, got any other suggestions?
3) i am getting a different PSU still 750W corsair, just newer
570 outperforms a 6950 ...yes by a little...but i was talking about flashing it to a 6970 which outperforms a 570 and is cheaper... so paying more for less performance...:lol: but i see that your a nvidia guy... so i understand that perspective of it... ive been to the dark side b4
Pfft, i cant believe you have stayed on ATI or AMD or what ever they are called now. But i once bought an ATI card and boy do i regret that decision and i will never ever go bad to those dark medieval days of pure neanderthal-ism. plus i dont want to deal with that stupid flashing i will overclock my 570 and my CPU to out perform a 6950 by a wide margin

and honestly, this thing is just fine for me, it stays up there with your beloved 6970.
