I don't like it because the back panel port is a bit lacking, although I guess it looks cool. Temps would be lower, which results in an extra 0.1 GHz or so, but I'd rather put the money towards more important parts.


what does it lack
PS/2 ports.

My current stuff is USB anyway and if I really want NKRO, a PS/2 PCI isn't going to cost much

Should I be buying some of this if I'm putting a non-stock cooler on my cpu?

Most definitely. The best thermal paste in my experiences has been Diamond, followed by Arctic 5, and then MX-4. The cooler master and corsair ones aren't too bad though.

I have a locked CPU, would a after market cooler benefit me somehow?

Not really, no. You could get one that's quieter, but otherwise it wont give you any benefit.

For video cards would you recommend AMD or Nvidia? AMD has few drivers, however Nvidias tend to combust into flames

Did you just come off of any tech forum website and look at the stereotypical responses for why you shouldn't get an AMD or Nvidia product?

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank god that such men lived. ----------- No Bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. (both by George S. Patton jr.)

Is this pc good for gaming?
Can I put a cheaper part in for nearly the same performance?
Am I putting to much RAM, Memory ect into it?
Can you tell I have no idea what I am doing? 8)

Honestly, that PCs GPU sucks. I'm not quite sure why it costs so much. What's your price range? I'll build one for you.

Btw, RAM=Memory;)

600$ if possible if you can't get that then as cheap as possible

Alright, but just curious. If your budget is 600, why is the first build 1000?

I have been trying to get it down but I am having a hard time with that.
Also I think I am putting too much into the parts.
And again I have no idea what I am doing.
