well that is what i have chosen ....little over my budget but i will make it work somehow
is there a huge difference in the thermal compounds ?...does it usually come with the processor?and is it worth getting aftermarket stuff?
there will probably be some overclocking involved but dont think id need it right away
as the pc i have been using to play games with is an 6 yr old intel core 2 duo at 2.44ghz with 2g of 533 ram and a radeon hd 4670 agp series gpu so i think this should be thousands of times better ...and i plan on ordering all the parts later on this week
well thank you in advance for opinions and suggestions
Mike
