Cool. Thanks for your time.

I see in the reviews people are getting 3.2 out of it no problem. Would you mind recommending a fan and heatsink? I have no idea where to start. Here is New Eggs best sellers (fan and sink together)...

I had looked at the Black Edition. So that is basically the same processor that I have above? I guess I don't understand the difference. What is the advantage of getting the BE?

Ok, I updated the PSU to an Antec 500 watt. Anyone else have any thoughts? Does this sound like a decent setup?

Well, I guess I want to keep it around $700ish, less is always better but I will go more if needed. Thanks for the PSU answer. I looked at Intel briefly but it seems that AMD is cheaper and I have not had any problems with AMD. I have had 4 or 5 Intel machines in the past.

Hello. I was wondering if I could get some thoughts about the new machine I have spec'd out. This won't be a gamer and I will not be OCing it either. I'll be running Win XP Pro 32bit for my OS. Mainly I will be using it for photo editing (Photoshop), software development (.NET, SQL, etc)...
