For the cooler. It seems to be very quiet compared to the one on the 1400. The system this will be replacing is an AMD A10-5700 CPU with a stock cooler. It's obnoxiously loud and I want something a lot quieter.

Anyhow, thanks for the recommendations and I've come up with 3 builds that I might choose from.
