Questions about Processor OC, and Mobo.

Hello, i plan on getting (and eventually overclocking) a i5-3570k, but i am using this Mobo (http://stores.tomshardware.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=1032035644/search=z77%2Bpro3/rd_type=M) will I be able to? is aftermarket cooling needed?? if so, any decent air cooling you can suggest?

Yep, that motherboard is just fine. As for cooling, if you're overclocking; I ALWAYS recommend an aftermarket cooler. Heck the Coolermaster Hyper 212 is cheap and works great! Specially when you bolt two fans to it! But yeah, that's a decent motherboard, might not be top end, but it will definitely handle the 3570k with ease.
