Everything you need should be included. I assume the cooler already has paste pre-applied. You need to clean the paste off of your i7 if it comes attached to the stock cooler (I didn't do this ).Kimmmmmmmmmmmm wrote:

There are better coolers at a slight increase in cost ~$50-60 will buy an awesome one. Thermalright, Xigmatek, Noctua are all better quality.

the fan is for your cpu and will be worth it for an i7. I got a $30 cooler for my new CPU just to reduce noise and it's been a freakin' godsend.Kimmmmmmmmmmmm wrote:

I used an online doodad recently while checking the supply needed for SLI/Crossfire... my AMD x4 965 with a 5850 and 2 HDDs had a minimum of 300w and a recommended 350.ebug9 wrote:
Yep my list is still the same on Newegg.
The CPU should come with paste or a thermal strip pre-applied to the heatsink.
I'm assuming 650W is plenty for that system but I would check with Freezer or Panzer just to be sure. They're far more knowledgeable then me when it comes to watts, power and volts.
