specs wise it's not so bad,
AMD Phenom II X4 Black Edition 3.20GHz
Radeon HD 6870
4 gb of hyper X ram
The moment your pc turns on for the first time, magic.

WHY
[QUOTE=seano12;32664365]WHY[/QUOTE]
don't start this please
[QUOTE=seano12;32664365]WHY[/QUOTE]
Because its basically the cpu with the best price/preformance ratio.
[QUOTE=seano12;32664365]WHY[/QUOTE]
Perhaps because he doesn't want to sell a few non essential organs to buy an intel chip.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Phenom II. my 955 is overclocked to 3.5Ghz and sits around 40 degrees.

Agreed. My 555 x2 is unlocked, and overclocked to 3.8GHz, and currently sits somewhere in the low 30C range. Definitely can't see a problem with buying it, even as old as the chip is.

The stock cooler might be loud and a bit crap, but a £7 arctic 7 freezer pro soon recifies that.
It's not like the intel orb cooler is any better :colbert:

H60
Should I get a fan for my cpu? Its never really hot in my room, and the case I'm getting has front and rear 120mm fans. And what is thermal paste for?
Your CPU will come with a stock cooler which will do fine. Although not much overclocking headroom

you put thermal paste between the base of the cpu cooler and the processor, but processors do actually come with a cpu cooler that has a pre applied thermal pad so you won't have to worry about that
how much can I get my 2500K to with the hyper 212?
About 5GHz if you're lucky, else 4.5 will be doable.
How far can I get my i7-950 with the H50?
No experience with those CPU's.

It wouldn't fit, and theres no hole for it.
Plus i don't think the cable would reach :/

x530 comes with like 2m cables..
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;32677582]x530 comes with like 2m cables..[/QUOTE]
It's not the x530, it's the x230.
Pretty sure the sub would reach, but not the left speaker to the desk. Might look into it though :p
