Will This Work? Custom Build

[pc-gamer-dude]

thats not even made to fit your processor. unless you plan on overclocking (you have no reason to with that monster computer), then you can just use the heatsink/fan that comes with your processor.

ok what about the fans that are on the case (80mm ones) theres 3 in it but looks like 5 from the pics.

do i need more?

Nah, i never had a good computer before. I know the one i am getting now is pretty solid, and i don't want to get a chip that i find out is over hyped.


Here its $200, but another site says $600


Also i am planning to upgrade my PC every once and awhile, so if its anygood later i can get it.

How can it be overhyped.. ?

Its an improved Northwood, and its cheaper...

I doubt Intel would do that. It would kill their reputation. Its 3 weeks or so, benchmarks will be out a couple of days after release too. Whats to lose? You&#39;ve got lots to gain though.

Yep i am getting them for &#036;66 USA


People&#39;s reviews said for the price it kicked ass, and has alot of bass.


@Mad Cat, when it comes out and is said to be good, i will upgrade.

I can&#39;t understand you. You&#39;ll pay a couple of hundred dollars, and then in 3 weeks pay another couple of hundred dollars for a better chip...

Why not wait and get the better, cheaper chip?

becuase this is my first ever good computer for one. I am to excited to wait. As is i have to wait 2weeks to get this. i&#39;ll have to wait 4 to get that. also i have to find a mother board that will work with it.

Its to much hassle for something that isnt really that much better.

Specs on the comp i am now on


no video card
17gig hard drive (no cache)
128mb ram
samsung cr-r/cr-rw drive

thats about it, you can see why i am happy about this new one.

what kind of processor is in your old one?
