Hello everyone-
This is my second build. I am primarily looking to use this for gaming and some video editing. I will likely try to overclock the CPU at some point; however, the main reason I want the aftermarket cooler was because getting the stock cooler on my Asus P5Q Pro board I have now was a pain in the butt.
I left out the optical drive because I'm going to try and load the OS via USB drive.
Thank you for any input!
