No problem...been researching it for like 3 weeks, my parts arrive Friday.:D

Well I just won 100 dollars on a scratch ticket? Any ideas on what case and Power supply to get? I am willing to spend 200 dollars for both.

I also purchased a CD/DVD burner and a 500GB Hardrive.

But with the processor do I need to get a heat sink/fan. I plan on purchasing this one.

If you're not going to overclock, stock cooling should be fine. Just try to insert the 775 locking mechanism properly the first time so you don't have thermal grease being torn away.

Case I'm pretty biased on, as this is the one I just got in the mail yesterday:

PSU...I'd say 600W should be the minimum you should be looking at...

A bit overkill, but nice price after rebate...not very well rated though.

I'm not positive, but I think 650W should be enough for what you're running, highly efficient, highly rated...

scratch that last one, $5 more for 100W extra, same manufacturer, same efficiency, still high ratings.

And far more than what you need, the PSU I bought.

I agree with geno on the cooling thing. Plus the case I pointed out to you has two large fans (intake and exhaust) right next to where the CPU should be.

Seems to be a pretty good deal. I have the case in the combo, and it's AWESOME! The only problem is it's very, very big, so I would make sure you have some space for it if you decide to go for it. Also, the reviews on the PSU are good, and the combo savings isn't shabby either.

Quite a bit more expensive than what I pointed out is the only thing. $220 after a $70 rebate compared to $125 after rebates.

Other than that...case looks awesome for overclocking with those two huge 10" fans. Don't know if Kyle's really going to be overclocking though.

I am an idiot.

Well the mb and processor that i was going to order is

Sorry, the combo deal is no longer available.




And I order this fan for the processor

So can someone please find me a new processor and mb that I can use? I figured that I can just return the heat sink that i purchased.

My problem is finding two that are compatible.

Basically it is between these two

According to this, that quad core will run ~40% faster than that dual core.

According to the fan specs, it'll work with the processor so go ahead and keep it.
