Hello Everyone,
I am building a computer for the first time and need some advice. I have been upgrading my old computer but it is pretty much at it's max. I only have a limited budget of around 600 dollars. I will be using my corsair 750 watt power supply as well as my geforce 550i video card for now.
Here is what i was going to go with, but if you know of better stuff for the price, I would really appreciate the advice.

CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 (CWCH60) High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
