Derp, reread the thread. I'll get a build together in a minute. [editline]05:54AM[/editline] Your CPU cooler links to your RAM. Your CPU will come with its own cooler anyways, so you'll only need it if you want to overclock.

I'm not sure about GEIL RAM, though.

The build seems a bit excessive if all you want to do is play source games

GamerKiwi: shit... ok fixed the link, the stock cooler is shit and I'l probably overclock it when i find out how. Yea i sw that mobo but if i ever wanted to chuck another 5770 in later it dosent suport crossfire... what about [URL="http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=186_538_913&products_id=14935"]Mushkin[/URL] Ram FINLEY: I might get in to some of the newer games if i can run them...
