Hello folks,

I am building my first computer, and i want to know if i need to buy a heatsink and a soundcard. I don't plan on OC my CPU, so i am not sure if i should stay with the stock cooler or buy a cooler master hyper 212 evo for better cooling. For the soundcard, my question is " Do i have sound on the computer without a sound card?".

MOBO: MSI b75ma-e33
CPU: i5-3470

Thanks ^^

You cant overclock that chip so the stock heat sink will be fine so save some cash and stick with that :). The Mobo will have a sound card built in and unless you want 5.1/7.1 surround ect then the onboard sound card will be good enough.
