Thread Starter 
I know best and cheap don't go together. But I just want to know what's the best out here and what's something cheaper that does a decent job compare to the best ones.

thanks

The best budget blocks are these 2:

Anything better than these costs about twice as much.

Get the EK supreme since you have to buy the mounting bracket for the 1366 for the sapphire.

I would get the Enzotech Sapphire (not because I own it). Get it from Newegg though. Can't go wrong for the money:

It'll cost him more including the bracket for 1366 than just buying the supreme...

My bad, you're right. I forgot about his socket type.

here is the I7 WC block round up

Depen on your flow rate need, make your decision. However If you have $65 go with swiftech apogee XT, it is not in this list but it is slightly better than Heatkiller 3.0 and $30 cheaper. if you cant spend $50 go with saphire for $50ish
