So I am going to get this cpu and obviously my 775 socket mobo is not going to cut it. I'd like to know what some of your experiences have been with certain boards and which manufacture you'd recommend.

feel free to recommend another cpu, I'm flexible on the price. Would only like to spend 350-400 in total and might need a new fan.

The 4670k is 10 dollars more than the 3570 and performs slightly better, I'd go for that. As for the motherboard, however, I'm not sure. I know that the Hyper 212 Evo CPU fan is pretty good.

To get high overclocks on Haswell you need
1. luck
2. an even better cooler
You could use the intel stock cooler and purchase a high-end aircooler (70-80$) instead of the 212 Evo later when you want to overclock.
