CPU Coolant Fans - I would recommend http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835109125 Thermalright 120. I have it in my system, and works like a champ.

not sure if you knew this or not...but the CPU is Retail and comes with both the heatsink and fan.

Oh yeah I knew that, but from everything I've heard the Heatsink that comes in box with CPUs are not the best.

 

[kjman87]

ok just wasnt sure...because it looks like you got everything to me...

They are plenty fine on the X2, Unless you want to get into EXTREME overclocking.


I would recommend this drive over the Western digital drive

Its $10 and much faster
