| Nah, you can always upgrade that later... or if you want to save some money now and do it now ( I would buy it now and save cash, but I'm a cheapskate haha) It saves you the money of buying the Corsair 550vx and another PSU later on

| OEM's just mean you get the CPU wrapped on some material, with Retail you get the Box and Instructions and the lame stock cooler

| Idk why anybody needs instructions with a CPU... its really not hard, look for the corner on the CPU and match it with the one on the board, and put in the same direction
