Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3 GHz 6-Core 2011-V3 Unlocked Processor BX80648I75820K

Top CPU
Not much to say other that it's an i7. It's fast, and currently at the time of this review a high end processor. I can run multiple CPU demanding programs and it takes it all in stride. Coming from an i3 this is just lovely. Anyone who does Digital Art, video editing, hosting dedicated servers and other CPU demanding things a 6 core + processor is recommended. And I wouldn't recommend AMD cores, ever since the i series has been released by Intel AMD couldn't keep up in my opinion.

Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 CPU Cooler

Best CPU heatsink
Granted I never had to buy a heat sink since INTEL CPUs normally come with one. However the i7 - 5820k I got didn't come with one. This particular model is for the 2011 v3 socket. After doing some digging many Enthusiasts swear by Noctua products. They weren't wrong. This this is MASSIVE. And very heavy. I didn't realize the sheer size of this thing. Performance-wise this thing is amazing. If a heat sink is needed make sure you case can FIT it correctly. I currently have a ThermalTake Core x9 case and there is room to spare. For it's size it is surprisingly quiet. And it pushes quite a bit of air too. Bottom line I wouldn't settle for any other heat sink for air cooling. Just keep in mind of the size.
