This is the processor that I'm planning to buy (its going to be like a $5500 build) probably oc'd to 4.5Ggzish. I'm worried that it might get too hot with fan cooling, does anyone have any experience with this/any recommendations? How much would it cost to set up a liquid cooling system if I decided to do it? Is it doable by someone who has never put together a liquid cooling system before?(maybe I could get help from someone?)

edit: And no, I don't want to downgrade and I don't want an AMD processor.

It's ok, if people still want to discuss it I'll let them.
