Should I go for it? It's all in my basket.

I thought about future proofing the motherboard, but I'll be sticking with this build and CPU for a while. The higher priced motherboards (£80) really don't seem like that much of a step up, and I'm not really bothered about SLI, Xfire or extra ram slots. I was interested in buying one with an unlocked multiplier, but those are quite a bit more expensive and I may as well get the i5 2500k with it, but I just can't justify spending that much.
You're right about the cooler though, how quiet are the stock Intel ones? Being 10 degrees cooler is a bonus, but if I'm not overclocking and the Intel cooler is sufficient and quiet then I may as well save myself £15.
