I hopped on the Dell deal. It's worth it to me to wait a bit to buy one at $207. Thanks for linking it!

I'd like to thank Kyle and XFX. A great deal!

Just ordered it all. Can't wait to put it together. Thanks everyone!

After a couple weeks of reading tech review sites, tech forums (especially this one) I'm about ready to go ahead and order this new build. I guess the only thing that is compelling me to post this thread instead of just placing the order is that this will be my first time OC'ing so I just want...

Ok, another reason I was put off by the Thermalright 120 was that I was just checking Newegg for costs. Newegg had it for $65 and the Scythe S-Flex for $30! Spending over $100 with shipping factored in blew my mind. However, jab-tech has them for $50 and $14 respectively. I didn't realize...

Wow, so many great responses already. You guys rock! Definitely helping me out a ton. Thank you. So it looks like noise will be a non-issue for me assuming I pick up a quality case and fans. Cost/performance seems a lot better especially with the recommendation of the Abit IP-35-E...

I'm looking to build a new PC in the near future and for the first time I'm thinking about entering the wonderful world of overclocking. I've always kind of wanted to do it, and I think it could be a fun little project for my next build. However, I've got to decide if the added costs of...
