Going to build a new computer soon...

As for overclocking the CPU, I doubt I'll need to TBH, most games these days are more GPU heavy and the GPU comes stock overclocked, I could be wrong though, I just don't want to waste extra money if I don't really need to, besides I doubt I'd even attempt any overclocking on the CPU if I could.

No point in going for a K-series CPU then. You should stick with H97 motherboard you chose and call it a day.

/r/pcmasterrace is a great place to ask for advice too

Changed the motherboard, it arrives tomorrow, don't give me any problems now lol, what other good CPU coolers are there? The one I currently have listed is too mainstream for me.

Something from be quiet! offerings maybe? http://www.bequiet.com/en/cpucooler

If you want to match your motherboard color scheme you could look at a Alpenföhn Matterhorn White Edition, its pretty unique. (if available in UK, not even sure)

I had ZOTAC GeForce 9500GT 1GB and GeForce Experience doesn't allow me
to use any features.

It keeps saying that my GPU is outdated and I need to get a new one.
Like GeForce 6+ Series or whatever that is

I keep dreaming about that I joined IV:MP server and meet my friends, Its like a nightmare which I was still banned there.. I'm trying to get off the server, I suddenly woke up and almost can't sleep thinking about it.

GTX600 or more recent.

I bought a GTX 650 for the computer I'm on now in 2012 for about £160, and now you can buy them for £60, amazing how fast prices drop and technology changes...

Okay then, It should be around $100 or less for me

Just fitted my new motherboard into the case and it looks awesome, will be ordering the CPU and RAM next week, still not sure wether to get a small single fan water cooler or a normal air cooler, I don't like the way the air coolers stick out so much, would like the inside to stay as open as possible for better looks and air flow, don't know what to do...

Edit: After reading some reviews on a cheap (£50) Corsair liquid cooler, I'm definitely not going with liquid cooling, so many people saying how their computers have been f**ked and how it's leaked after only a couple of weeks, so now I'm looking for a low profile compact air cooler, don't want something that looks like a huge clunky metal block in my nice shiny see through case.

Edit: Could I use a low profile cooler like this or is it not-recommended for a mid sized case?

They stick out a lot for a reason...tower coolers are much better at dissipating heat than flat models

Actually, there are some pretty badass ones out there. I recommend you this one but it depends on your budget: http://www.bequiet.com/en/cpucooler/482 they are a well known brand so ye.

Don't forget about the Thermal Paste..

Last month I tried to overclock my CPU through BIOS, Pentium 4 E5200
My computer keeps restarting! Temperature reached 100°C.
Then I put a new Paste 3 times (First & Second attempt is a failure) and it worked.

40°C - 60°C now. I've reset the BIOS settings too

Finally found a cooler that is 'compact' and works just as well as normal huge tower coolers (or so I've read), I don't want a huge block disrupting air flow.

I have a water cooler Corsair one from the Hydro series had it for over a year now no leaking or anything on  the same CPU you have and u can get a whole 1 Ghz over clock on it,  with temps in the 60s. Don't believe what you see on the net.
