    HSF for 1156 system

    I'm currently building a new system (i7-875K on an ASUS P7P55D-E Pro) and I had originally planned to get the Hyper 212 HSF. However, Newegg is price gouging and i'm not going to pay $60+shipping for this HSF. Other places, Microcenter (oos at b&m location), Amazon, Provantage, etc... won't ship...

    Medium gaming / general use budget build

    yes, as i posted on every post where Danny decides to rape me, i was not aware of the price increase. Go with AMD in that case, or get a lower i3 or i5 I was gonna buy a HSF anyways, so that was my personal justification for 875K. Also, I was personally tired of using AMD for so many of my...

    First build in several years, looking for input

    Already said this elswhere, didn't know about the 860 price increase. However, check with your local microcenter (just a phone call). When I went to grab my 875K, the guy next to me had an 860 order sheet for $200, which might have been old, or he was lucky.

    NEW BUILD UNDER 700

    ignore my advice then, I wasn't fully thinking straight in terms of i7-860 pricing, I didn't know that either, but you could call your local Microcenter to check that easily enough

    NEW BUILD UNDER 700

    Just posting some thoughts/maybe things to think about. I'm kinda lazy to explain everything, but ask and maybe i'll answer. Processor - I7-875K - $200+tax at Microcenter (not listed on web, but call store, and they'll probably have it. I heard the sale ends this weekend) - faster processor...

    socket 1336 build.

    then you're gonna feel like you overpayed for most things sadly. For gaming, you really don't need the 1336 socket chipset. Just comparing it to the 1156 chipset (which is what I was debating a week ago) 1) the i7-860 (i have a microcenter nearby, so these cost the same for me) runs at the...

    Mid-budget desktop for gaming and other use.

    first, check if your cpu comes with HSF. I just bought an intel I7-875K and it doesn't have one, so I have to buy one no matter if I decide to overclock or not. Secondly, I could be wrong, but Hyper 212 might be only for intel boards? check it up before you buy it. Also, Amazon's site says...
