Could you guys recommend me a heat sink for my rig?

These are the basics of my rig:

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146025

mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131319

CPU: (quadecord yorkfield) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115041

And an ATI 4870 (1x) GPU

Could you guys recommend me a heat sink? Or would the stock heatsink be good enough, I'm not planning on overclocking.

Artic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro works amazing, but I heard the Zalman ones (forgot the model name) are pretty good as well oscar530

Will it be perfectly compatible with my rig?

Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro took mine from 60 idle to 85 load to 40-45 idle to 55 load helped alot.

Do you find those complaints of cheep pushpins that sometimes break and the cooler being oversized, valid?

hmm the pins no, the oversized part I do find valid. I had to move one of my fans to make room for it, but besides the size I found it to do a very good job for the price.

okay good, if you can tell, do you think I'll need to do that (bolded) in my case?

Nope, with that case the heatsink will fit in fine without having to re-arrange anything. Another plus is not having to remove the mobo to install it, but that doesn't really affect you seeing as you will be building from the ground up anyways it seems.

I got this - it works great and is cheap. Ideling right now at 37C.

I just completed a new system build using the same case (NZXT Apollo) as you. I installed a Zalman CNPS9700 w/ 110mm led fan and speed controller, using a Gigabyte X-48-DS4 and it fit just fine in the case, even with a 900w PSU. I don't know how well the Zalman would fit on your MB, because it is quite large and may pose a problem with the way the heat-sinks are laid out on your ASUS board. But Zalman also makes a smaller version (CNPS 9500) w/ a 92mm led fan, which I have running in my system listed in the sig below.......they work great and are near silent.

wait... the CNPS 9500? I checked on newegg and it doesn't say it's compatible with any intel CPU's.
