Only one consideration, based on a friend's recent purchase of a similar system (also i7 920, no overclocking): he found during heavy gaming the stock cooler wasn't sufficient for cooling the CPU, so you might want to invest in a better heatsink.
Ah thanks for that, hadnt considered that. Is it possible to get a better heatsink for around $50AUD?
Yeah, as Discrate's post shows, any decent non-stock cooler isn't particularly expensive, and does a better job of cooling.
