Hey guys! Again, thanks for all the help you guys have given my for me first build! It could not be possible with out you!

Can I just get a couple of second opinions about this build before pulling the trigger.

Like do you recommend that I grab a better cpu cooler? Is the power supply ok? Also, the modo comes with the ram I will be using.


THANKS!!!

If you aren't overclocking it is a good bargain. You get a quad core with hyperthreading for less then an i7-3770 would cost you. But if you are planning to do so it won't go any faster then it is rated for. Though running it at its rated turbo speed all the time is still pretty darn fast.

I'm thinking so. Even tho you don't plan to OC, your system will be perfect for it with addition of a $30 cpu cooler. Exactly one change in the bios will get you to 4.2ghz (maybe higher) with no ill effects if over time it starts feel a little slow. That's about 20% more performance for 15% of the price of the cpu. Just food for thought.

Edit: tip on that mobo - will need to turn down the cpu target fan speed in the bios since the default is full speed and it will be loud.
