You certainly found some good prices there. Those are killer deals on both coolers. At first I was going to ask why not the 2600k, then I saw their price on it was a whopping $100 more.

At that price I would just go with the A70 and bank the $35 for something else. The A70 can come very close to the best air coolers on the market. It's a steel at that price.

Canada computers has the cpu for 10 dollars less but they dont have the motherboard i want.
As for the 2600K too much money its not in my budget.
I'll use this thread as a refrence to show the employers at tigerdirect exactly what i want.

I want the Cosair domatior GT but that thing is an arm and a leg. but the ram i got there is good right?

Yeah Corsair Dominator is pretty good stuff. Only reason I went with Kingston is they work harder on XMP profiles to make sure they work with any system. It's about the only RAM you really don't have to worry about being plug n play at it's rated frequency. Corsair Dominator is compatibility tested for by a lot of MB manufacturers though. That doesn't mean it's always fuss free on the listed MBs though. QVLs are very much hype to sell product really. I've heard stories of Corsair RAM, including Dominator, being very finicky in some situations.

On the CPU, hate to break it to you but if you compare all the best prices Can vendors have on it, TigerDirect.ca comes in at the bottom of the list.

Well sure you can, and doing so sends a message to certain vendors that some of their prices aren't so competitive.

Get this G.Skill instead & put the rest towards the 2600k
Also, I have the A70 & it is a great cooling beast, especially for that price. I got mine at launch & payed more, but it was worth every penny.

G.SKILL may be cheap, but how is it for reliability? I've heard you get what you pay for, and I personally suspect one of my G.SKILL sticks may be bad.
