you dont need to buy os disc if you know what i mean (cant mention that

) exchange for that, get a aftermarket cooler instead

dandn0ten :

Why you say that? because i already have one from my current pc? well i guess i could just sell the computer without the OS installed (; but i prefer selling all together

I don't normally go AMD here, but purely for gaming the FX-8320 will do great. I chose AMD so I could pick out an even better graphics card that will be worth the price.
