Gotcha
Pick up an extra fan or two for it. I had one similar and had some issues with cooling during long gaming sessions.

We are master race for a reason. This shite ain't cheap 
Get a 30 dollar CPU cooler and some thermal paste and as many fans as that case supports.
Friends don't let friends game on stock cooling

Yea
This CPU cooler works with just about every socket and is always a decent choice for the price.

Of course if your case allowed it the Macho is the way to go

BTW, the 660 is on sale at Best buy for $209 if anyone is looking for one.

Yeah an i5 3570k with 660ti is plenty good enough to game on
Don't reuse a cooler. Get a new one, and some new fresh thermal paste.
I've never reused a CPU cooler but id imagine the paste on the bottom would need to be scraped.

Good card, but the 7870 is usually around that price and is better

I'll always need to get my FPS kicks on 360 and the MVProof team is unbreakable.
but it would be nice to have a rig to not only work on, but play PC games in the FPS lulls. Especially now that LESI is pretty much dead
