I recently went to AMD's Fan Day in San Francisco. I got for free for standing in line for like 5 hours
1. A8-5600k apu processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113281&Tpk=a8-5600k&IsVirtualParent=1
2. ASRock FM2A85X Extreme4-M http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157342
I have already put this in my custom pc I made back in the beginnning of January. And I love the performance boost since I am crossfiring with a HD6670 in it compared to what I had before.
My question is on overclocking and adding more ram. Can I overclock with the stock cpu cooler or am I recommended to get a cpu cooler? Also what kind of ram is recommmended on a apu build like this?
What is recommended for a $50-70 budget right now?
Cpu cooler first or increasing ram to 8GB?
If possible, are there low profile cpu coolers, I want to put one in my Couagar Spike case.
This is my current rig right now.
Custom PC SpecsCPU: Intel Celeron G540 CPU 2.50 GHZ GPU: GIGABYTE GV-R667D3-1GI Radeon HD 6670 Motherboard: MSI H61M-E33 (W8)PSU: Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500wRAM: Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666)Computer Case: COUGAR Spike Black Steel / Plastic MicroATX Mini Tower Gaming Case
Thanks in advance for any replies.
