zalman super thermal grease is better. kinda looks like nail polish and goes on like it ( brush included ) I find ac5 to 'wear out" after a few years. thermaltake used to have a white paste ( similar to the zalman stuff ) that was the best I ever used.

I like the case. never saw it before.

guess you have reasons for buying the rest of the stuff. looks okay.

Basically I am just trying to make a gaming computer that is not going to limit me to strictly gaming. this setup is currently over budget for me I was trying to keep it at the 1k mark. this is at the $1200 mark.
