Well i have been delaying my main computer upgrade from past 1 month as waiting for bulldozer.But my present setup of e6750 have gone dead as my present default coler legs have broken.ALso was waiting to get cabinet later but i guess i should get this 2 on urgent basis.May be by tomorrow.

Have decided b nzxt tempest evo and noctuau12p se 2 for the system.

Any suggestions.Cooler is just for 50% oc fropm prersent ghz of system.But i doubt will this setup require change when i go for bulldozer setup?

Also any suggestion in place of cabinet will be using the setup for PS,gaming and watching movies.I am not the person to show off cabys to friends so any cheaper suggestion too will be welcome
 
^^ The NZXT Tempest EVO is a good cabinet and will be a great choice, very spacious (supports E-ATX boards), upto eight HDDs, its called the Airflow King, comes with 6 fans pre-bundled (2x 140mm + 4x 120mm) + the dust-filters. And it is cheaper than its main competition Cooler Master HAF series (the HAF 922 will be its direct competitor but often the HAF 912 Plus gets in because of price factor).

The Noctua NH-U12P SE2 is also a great buy and should be compatible with the upcoming AM3+ socket, it comes packaged with some really good (and silent) fans. Noctua NH-U12P SE2 CPU Cooler Review - The Noctua NH-U12P SE2 - Legit Reviews

Go for this set-up bruv, you'll not be disappointed.
 
Evrytime a new proccy comes than they release a new version supporting the same(noctua).so I doubt.can I buy only bracket later.
 
Yeah you can buy a bracket later, for the AM3+ socket, but if reports are anything to go by the retention mechanism is all that differs from the current AM3 chipset, so all coolers compatible with the current AMD socket should not pose any problems.

Tuniq MX-2 is what most people recommend here OR Tuniq TX-2 (due to availability factor), Arctic Silver 5 has got decent reviews on the net but needs curing (time to settle, spread) I think.
Its Arctic MX-2 not Tuniq.
OP,

MX-2 , TX-2 and TX-3 all are very good TIMs. Get anyone of them easily available to you.
