if your not overclocking right away i wouldn't panic Haswell CPU's run very cool... the rig i just built for my old man with the none K version of that and with stock cooler the CPU barely breaks 35c with a normal operating load.

just as an a side has anyone seen this happen on the cl site:

Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H Intel Z87 ATX Haswell LGA1150
+ Intel Haswell Core i7 4770K 3.50GHz 8MB LGA1150
+ Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3-1600 CL9 (KHX16C9T3K2/16X)

from this link : http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=20125 - $1029.95

however if you use the combo builder: http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview-combo.asp?partid=19391 - comes out as $1004.50

so you save $25 from the combo. i would have thought these prices would be the same...
