I decided to build a PC recently, the list of parts can be found here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2795541/quality-gaming-build.html
Note that I decided to use an Intel i3 4160 instead of the listed CPU on that thread, and that I already have an HDD to use with it. Anyway, I ordered and OEM CPU, not realizing that it didn't come with a cooler, meaning I have all the parts... except the cooler.
Now what I'm wondering is if it is a good/safe idea to use a cooler I salvaged from an older PC(an ASUS cooler, don't know exactly how old, machine ran Vista), and if not, how I should get an appropriate cooler.
