I am looking for very good hardware, that can be upgraded for quite awhile..
I do not want any SSD as their ability to Re-write blocks degrades...
For the motherboard i looked at the reviews and its fairly easy to over clock with it so being my first over clock ill just use the MOBO over clock utility..
Is the stock cooler bad.... i have over clocked my current CPU from 2.93 to 3.73 with the stock cooler and the temps where still low..
if i do over clock the I5 it will only be to around 3.2 or maybe less- would i need an aftermarket cooler for that??
I'm stilll below my friends $1700 limit soo
