Thanks for telling me that. Quite suprised since the reviews are pretty decent. What about Corsair
CWCH100 Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance CPU Cooler? and if yes what Thermal Paste
would you recommend?

Also would the Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B 8GB 1600Mhz CL9 DDR3 Vengeance Memory Module Kit
be compatible with the Sabertooth z77

Also when it comes to applying the paste do you apply it only to the CPU heatsink or both heatsinks including the coolers?

for the TIM (thermal paste), i'd suggest the MX-5 or the Artic silver formula 7

aGREED THE h60 ISN'T WORTH it for the price that you pay. Grab the H100 for sure. If the 240mm rad turns you off and you'd prefer not to mount the rad to the top of the case get an Antec 920 it comes bundled with some handy software. As far as Thermal paste go with Arctic Silver. It great paste and easy to work with.

If you want a "set it and forget it" video card go fo NVIDIA, their drivers are usually very stable and constantly evolving. AMD on the other hand seems to always have something wrong with their drivers and are slow to respond to them. This doesn't mean NVIDIA isn't without issues , it just means that NVIDIA addresses them quicker.

Yes the z77 Sabertooth is a 1155 Socket. Sandy and Ivy are both 1155 socket. Talk to your retailer about their return Policy. Microcenter has a great no questions asked return policy. A z77 Sabertooth and the i7 3770k ( from what I gathered you were getting) are a perfect match. You will not be disappointed in your purchase. As far as PSU , it may be over kill for what you are going to get at the beginning but i think 850 watts is perfect. It'll leave you room to upgrade to either a second card or more peripherals.
