I would suggesting going for the H100 or the H80 instead of the H50, not that they are bad, I am using 2 of them, but the new ones are better and more efficient.

I got the i5 2500k with the H50 for $220. I am not complaining.

Granted they are both used from eBay, but $200 and $20 shipping for i5 and liquid cooling is making me happy.

I have a 6950 by the way. 🙂

All of this money is for upgrading me from my AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.9 Quad Core CPU

Never buy closed loops on ebay. Not a good idea.

Not a good idea 'cos you will never know how old they are and how stressed they have been. A pre built closed loop has a lifespan, varying but it still has a limited life, and the H50's are actually quite old.... that's why it's not a good idea to buy one off eBay.

But, you could later on, mod the H50 to cool your GPU :) after you serviced it and bought yourself another LC for the CPU....
Later yes, it's a hell of a lot of fun, especially if you manage to do it yourself, and , then you can go all out, with a bigger budget and better pumps, rad and the works....
It's a cool first step..... toward water cooling a rig....

Seems like you never feel good about anything you post on the forums here :/

I mean it seems like he took care of his stuff, so it seems like it will work fine.

Worst case scenario I paid $220 for a used i5 2500K.

That's another very big risk since we know they're highly overclockable.....
You may never know what sort of voltages the CPU was put up to, which barriers and transistors blew on the way up or down.
A good bargain, is actually when you can buy stuff at a cheaper rate or lesser than market prices and ARE SURE that the seller hasn't screwed it up.....
And on eBay.... that's a rarity....

He said he used both parts last Sunday to test them before posting the auction. He also says that he uses his laptop more which is why he's selling the Desktop parts in the first place. I don't think he's a hardcore gamer enthusiast. :/

Hey, but, we're just telling you to be careful, it's your hard earned/saved money. You could be the lucky guy who won the Airbus too....
But it's pretty much based on luck.....
We're not saying you got a bad deal or you were duped, no, they seller could be absolutely truthful, but it's not always the case.

And we're not here to make people feel good, actually, we're just happy for you if it works for a year..... it's just that such happiness is very difficult to put down in words..... :)

Well all of this was enough to make me request cancellations on both the Motherboard and CPU/H50 combo. So I can spend 25$ more and get the Mobo/CPU in a week with my next paycheck, and maybe watercooling in the far future.

Thanks everyone.

Is that 220 plus 25???
Ya, sure you can...... for 250$ plus the paycheck I think you'd get a very reliable and hassle free setup.
Give us the exact budget and what all you'd like to buy in that budget... and we'll suggest something that'll rock your world....

i5 is $229 on Newegg.
Mobo is $121.99 on Newegg

I got the mobo for $115.50 (Open box, but new) [REFUNDED]
I got the CPU/H50 for $220.00

Cancelled the Mobo already and am getting the refund.

Basically I saved $25 but I also got the H50, and I was really excited about getting some LC :/

EDIT: Got the mobo refund already. Waiting for the other refund.
