    To Upgrade or Sell?

    I appreciate all the help, I'm picking up the computer from my moms this evening. Had to RMA the processor (i felt like a jerk) because the plastic wrap had been removed from the card (forzer II msi 560 gtx ti) so I assumed it was a refurb or a return (they do sell refurbs for cheaper on newegg...

    so the m4 did not come with a 3.5 to 2.5 mount bay convertor. Any recommendations for my case? I'm looking at this: SILVERSTONE SDP08 3.5 to 2 X 2.5-Inch Bay Converter http://www.amazon.com/SILVERSTONE-SDP08-3-5-2-5-Inch-Converter/dp/B002BH3Z8E/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_b seems a little pricey...

    picked up a VGA MSI|N560GTX-TI TWIN FROZR II/OC off new-egg. heard good things about the 560gtx ti, and while this is only the 1 gig, I hope it flies. It's the msi version, which looked a bit better (and 189 if I ever get the MIR) and it has two fans. I heard this is prolly a good thing...

    can you guys directly to 2 x 2 gig dims of ddr2 800 mhz then so I can get 8 gigs for multitasking purposes? I like newegg or amazon and I'm in the states. These 8 gigs would need to let me O.C the e8400 as that is my goal in buying the new fans / cpu cooler + heatsink. I plan on wiping the old...

    just looked at some vids of installing new heatsinks. Looks like I won't need to reseat the cpu unless I need to remove thermal compound that's leaked out from the processor face. I just need to remove thermal compound with isopropyl from e8400 and reinstall the heatsink fan after using a tiny...

    the p43twins1600 by asrock does accept up to 8 gigs of ddr3 1033 / 1333 in 2x slots.

    also if I get some 1600 ddr3, will it run correctly even though the mobo only supports ddr3 1333 max? Anyone have any recommendations on brands / which has the right timing?

    have no idea what coolmaster model it is. I picked up the m4 at tigerdirect (yea I know, there to be avoiding...) and I got the COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO which I heard good things about. Now I just need to pick up some ddr3, though I'm guessing this won't really help me all that much in diablo...
