i see that your questions have been answered but i just whanted to say that without a doubt the Phenom
is much much better than the i3s from intel.A phenom x4 965 compared 2 the i5 2500k is confusing tough.the 2500k performs better around 20%-30% more but is for 120 more so its a nobrainer :D
thanx for the replies guys but I also wanted to know if I could take out the cooler and even reduce the motherboard's price?
if you whant to reduce the price on the motherboard use coopermans motherboard of choice http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NvfS
And yes you can use the stock cooler to save you 30$ but i wold recommend getting an aftermarket cooler once youve got the money! cooler master hyper 212 evo is the best for budget builders!
Thanx dude ^_^
Oh and another thing i forgot to mention that coopermans motherboard of choise is micro ATX,that means its very small if you dont know!If you dont whant a micro atx motherboard i suggest this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157319R because Logan reviewed it in 1 of his videos.Alsio this motherboard is on sale for now if it runs out get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157323&Tpk=asrock%20960%20GM&IsVirtualParent=1.
Now for the RAM just go to the RAM discusions and ask there.
And last,can you tell me what is your final build parts that you have chosen ? I really dont whant to mess your build up!
Yeah sure i'll tell you I haven't decided it yet abut when I do I'll definitely tell you :)
Wow so quick :D
