The Beast is Dead - Looking to Resurrect my Gaming Computer

[Tal]

Before I had my new computer built, I did a lot of research about the sweet spot for price/performance. The general consensus I got was that unless you are looking at a very narrow price/performance range, Intel is the way to go.

Overall I'm happy with my choice, and I really want to suggest looking at a liquid CPU cooler. I got a Corsair H60, but there are others even better for pretty cheap. It provides immensely better cooling than the stock one, and is almost silent.

Oh, and definitely set aside a few bucks for a SSD. It will change your life.

Hi DeeBye - thanks so much for your reply. I've always respected your intelligence and wisdom. However, I don't think I'll ever be able to add liquid cooling to a build. Given the problems I've had with plumbing around the house, I'd rather not introduce the possibility of a leak on my brand new motherboard.

I do have a SSD for my OS/WoW drive and I love it!

Thanks again,
Tal
