Take it from me. I just completed my first build and made a big error. When I was designing my build and I asked a lot of people on other forums for advice I was told that my Rampage III Gene would be fine and great for my capabilities. Then once I started building and learning about overclocking (thanks to this forum) I started to grow a hatred for my motherboard that I have never felt for anything in this world before. I know it's pretty deep.
I started with a Corsair H60 and was petrified of water in a case. 2 months later I'm building a complete cooling system from scratch and cooling my CPU, RAM, and GPU. I never thought in a million years I'd be ripping apart a $450 video card to water cool it.
Point being I would go for the extreme or even a 2011 socket. When your next project of tweaking the computer starts, you might gain a hunger and realize that you have made a very dumb decision by not trying to foresee your future capabilities and wants. I know because I am one of those dummies.

The formula is almost better than the extreme when it comes to custom loops as it has an inbuilt NB block, and as he is building a gaming pc the formula would be better. The extreme is only a great choice when you're going for below zero cooling or if you're going 4 sli/crossfire.
