Cooler required for i7 3770k build

[thegeekfather]

I have chosen the Corsair H100i at the moment, but I'd like to get a cheaper one to save for an HD 7870 rather than the HD 7850.. Could you suggest any cooler that'd do the job and save money? If I do go for the Corsair H100i and the HD 7850, will my i7 3770K bottleneck it? Looking forward to your inputs..

Will the i7 3770K bottleneck the HD 7850 2GB version?

absolutely not. the 3770k will bottleneck dual GTX 690s, definitely not a 7850

 

[bigcyco1]

No it will not bottleneck not even a 690 would bottleneck no card will.

So, will it keep the i7 3770k cool? That too, even if I want to OC it? With that much saving, I can easily get the HD 7870!

I would go for an hyper 212 evo and overclock the cpu to 4ghz depending on case and cooling and get a GTX 660Ti
