| Senior Member | Just keep in mind that if you get a CPU cooler later, you're most likely going to have to remove your motherboard to install it since there are brackets that go on the backside of your motherboard to help hold it in place. Other than that, I look forward to seeing you stream this build! |

| as I see you have already ordered this, I will post the things you will wnat to upgrade and soon. First and foremost: get rid of that crap HD. Seagates aren't bad, I prefer WD, but going with a 7200 rpm hd as a main Hd for a new rig, is just shooting yourself in the foot. here is a good ssd drive that will vastly improve performance over your hd, and keep your seagate as your secondary for storage, etc. : Newegg.com - OCZ Agility 2 OCZSSD2-2AGTE60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) you can't beat this drive in performance for the price. $190 and you get 285MB/sec read and 275MB/sec write. Next, a modular power supply, someone else commented on this, and here is the power supply I have. Newegg.ca - KINGWIN Lazer LZ-1000 1000W Modular 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC W/ 3-Way LED Switch and Universal Modular Connector Power Supply But, congrats on your purchase, no matter what you will love it. .I really do "strongly" suggest upgrading your hd to a ssd though, honestly it is doing today, what ram upgrades did 10 years ago.. and then some. It is crazy, CRAZY performance increases. |

| Senior Member | At the moment I wanted to minimize my build cost so adding a SSD was out of the picture. For sure in the future I will grab one but at the moment it just can't happen. Thank you I can't wait! It should be shipping today and getting here in about a week or so.
