I look to this community for help in these quest because I respect the input of most save a few!
The reason for this build my kids live in Alaska the power during the winter hours they really kick your tush....and hard on the trousers when I used to get that bill each month.
As for the processor I'm a die hard AMD nut supporting them in the hopes my money will help them over throw the evil empire (Intel) please no remarks on how crazy that might be thank guys
