New Build, final touches
Hi, everybody......I´m doing my first build, I started my first buid a while ago, but I had to put It on hold for several reasons, but I´m back on track and I got pretty much everything already, this is what I got so far:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-808-_-Product ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 790GX HDMI ATX Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131366 ANTEC 300 Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-042-_-Product Western Digital Caviar black 640 Gb 7200 rpm HDD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-319-_-Product LG BlURAY burner http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827136175 ANTEC EA650 Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371015 4GB A-DATA Gaming Series DDR3-1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-409-_-Product WINDOWS 7 Professional 64 Bit And I already own this Monitor: ACER X193W+BD High resoultion monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824009127 I´m not planning on doing any heavy gaming, I will use the PC for a little bit of everything, but I want It to be able to handle anything I throw at It, if I want to. I was thinking on using the on board video for a while, but I´m still considering a budget video card: SAPHIRE RADEON HD 4670 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102855 And one last thing, I´ve been reading some many bad opinions on the stock cooler of the 955 BE, what aftermarket cooler do you recommend for this CPU, and will It fit the ANTEC300? Thanks in advance. |

Build it with the onboard video, then if you feel it's lacking you can put a video card in at any time. The longer you wait to put a card in, the more card you will be able to get for your money.
The stock cooler is plenty good if you are running the CPU at stock speeds. It's just the overclockers that are complaining, which is normal for ANY stock cooler. |

Thanks glc...I´ll go with the on board video and the stock cooler, one more question: Should I use the paste that comes with the cooler? or go with aftermarket...for example AS5?
Thanks again. |
