New Build, final touches

Hi, everybody......I´m doing my first build, I started my first buid a while ago, but I had to put It on hold for several reasons, but I´m back on track and I got pretty much everything already, this is what I got so far:

AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-808-_-Product

ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 790GX HDMI ATX Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131366

ANTEC 300 Case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-042-_-Product

Western Digital Caviar black 640 Gb 7200 rpm HDD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-319-_-Product

LG BlURAY burner
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827136175

ANTEC EA650 Power Supply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371015

4GB A-DATA Gaming Series DDR3-1600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-409-_-Product

WINDOWS 7 Professional 64 Bit

And I already own this Monitor:
ACER X193W+BD High resoultion monitor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824009127

I´m not planning on doing any heavy gaming, I will use the PC for a little bit of everything, but I want It to be able to handle anything I throw at It, if I want to.

I was thinking on using the on board video for a while, but I´m still considering a budget video card:

SAPHIRE RADEON HD 4670
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102855

And one last thing, I´ve been reading some many bad opinions on the stock cooler of the 955 BE, what aftermarket cooler do you recommend for this CPU, and will It fit the ANTEC300?

Thanks in advance.

Build it with the onboard video, then if you feel it's lacking you can put a video card in at any time. The longer you wait to put a card in, the more card you will be able to get for your money.

The stock cooler is plenty good if you are running the CPU at stock speeds. It's just the overclockers that are complaining, which is normal for ANY stock cooler.

Thanks glc...I´ll go with the on board video and the stock cooler, one more question: Should I use the paste that comes with the cooler? or go with aftermarket...for example AS5?

Thanks again.
