1. Lose the Samsung hard drive and get a Western Digital Black.
2. Change the ram to standard 1.5 volt ram, either 1333 or 1600 speed. Corsair, Crucial, Kingston, or A-Data. 3. You don't need the cooler or the Arctic Silver - the stock heatsink is good enough. |

The 760 is one step faster.

it is not recommended to overclock with a stock cooler, and is generally unnecessary anyways. the i5 760 should be plenty powerful as it is.
@14dollar comment, i know what he meant, just givin yall a hard time =D |
