Thanks all!!
I think I'll go Ivy 2500k .. so if I want to OC, nothing crazy, just a nice stable boost .. prolly 4.3~4.5 range.
Hmmm :colbert:.. a pre-owned i7-2600k .. now that's a good idea. I'll keep that in mind.
I forgot about the CPU bench tests on this site .. thanks!
This has prolly been asked many many times .. but sorry I CBA & had a few vodka + ginger ales .. :whiste:
I want to rebuild a new compy .. my current AMD Phenom X3 8650, 4GB DDR2-800 & GTS-450 OC is showing its age. I am going to hand down this comp to my nieces & nephew, or to my parents...
Pretty much anything from Corsair, SeaSonic, Antec, PC P&C ..
If you really need a very good value PSU, the Antec VP450 gets a Gold Award from HardwareSecrets.com

I just edited my post .. well your CPU is spec'd to pull 130W TDP, and the V5700 pulls 40W TDP, combined that is 170W. Double that it's only 340W .. you could go with a 350W well made PSU.
edit: .. hmm my edited post with the Newegg URL isn't working for me .. though I do have AD Block+, no...
A workstation gfx card .. you must do CAD or Photoshop stuffs.
I'd say a decent 400w or 450w would be just about right.
edit2: Since anandtech redirects Newegg URLs to somewhere else & then to Newegg .. I'll CODE my search url for PSUs from 350 to 450w...
I just installed the TX3 .. fan is alil abit louder than I'd like. The OEM HS&F was around 48~49*C idle .. and right now it is 33~34*C idle :cool:
My case is so thin, I had to remove the 120mm side fan .. though I could mount it outside the case .. but that'll look ugly D:
edit: Since my CPU...
I am looking for a 92mm HS&F .. of these which would you say is better:
Cooler Master TX3
Cooler Master N520
The only difference I can really tell is that the N520 is push/pull & different fans.
Aww man! I was all stoked about the Gigabyte mATX GA-Z77MX-D3H .. but the PCIe 16x slot will drop to 8x when a card is in the 8x slot. I would like to put my X-Fi card there, one extra slot away from the GFX card. I can deal with it right next to the GFX card (if dual slot size). Out of the...
I dont know what it is .. but everyones links here have redirect.anandtech.com to some other site .. which then redirects you to Newegg.
your $9 link is this - http://redirect.anandtech.com/r?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2FProduct%2FProduct.aspx%3FItem%3DN82E16820283012&user=u00000687...
Your linked redirected me to some other site with very poor WOT rating. From what I could tell, you linked a Rosewill RCR-IC001 40-in-1 USB 2.0 3.5" Internal Card Reader.
It looks almost exactly like the one I RMA'd defective .. and from the looks of it 248 people had the same problem as I...
