|  Re: Building a PC few general questions specific to hardware im getting The 650TX is cheaper and has more amps on the 12v rail(s) than the 520hx or Silencer 610.

| Re: Building a PC few general questions specific to hardware im getting You want Arctic silver 5 i believe. Also the Arctic freezer 7 pros are excellent good priced coolers, other than that there are some medium/high ranged coolers that will give you a bit more cooling.

| Re: Building a PC few general questions specific to hardware im getting Thats a good HD, but you should get a 7200.11 HD instead because with their 32mb cache they are faster than that WD and thats what I'm saying, no no on AS5

| Re: Building a PC few general questions specific to hardware im getting If you really want to pick up some paste for future use then grab some MX-2, but the cooler already has pre applied.
