So my dad bought me the intel i5 3570k ivy bridge processor for Christmas. Reason I know is cause he was being stupid and used my newegg account to buy it so it came in the mail yesterday under my name. Anyways I have an amd motherboard so I am going to have to get a new one. If I am not mistaking it needs the 1155 socket. I don't know motherboards that well but what I need is room for 8gb ram, two hdd, a discrete graphics card and I plan on buying a new cpu cooler so if you could recommend me one of those too that would be greatly appreciated. The most I wan't to spend is 150 but I guess I could spend a little more if need be. I will rep any and all helpful answers/recommendations.

MSI Z77 G43 + Hyper 212 CPU cooler.

It'll come out to about $150 for both.

This cooler outperforms the 212 and does it quieter.

Consider my world rocked.
