if you gonna go for core i7, get a corsair H50 for cooling. Is the best fanless cooling unit out there. I'm running a core i5 at 3.2ghz. temp range from 31-41c on causal use. Max temp i reached so far is 67c and that is having all my core stressed at 100%. Before when i had stock heatsink it was running at 50c on stock speed and 75-80c on 3.2ghz overclocked. Is a amazing cpu cooling unit. And since you're not planning to Overclock the temp from core i7 can still go up to pretty high depend on what your'e doing. Always getting a after market heatsink to prolong your cpu processor. I agree with some of the poster above. The ATI 4700 series are best bang for the bucks right now. But yea core i7 for flash game? kinda waste hehe
