Hey guys, I'm parting out my computer because I've decided to go mini-itx gaming route. All parts were used approximately 9 month.
These parts are for sale. If you would like to pick up the parts, they are located in Cerritos, CA.
Intel i5 2500k: SOLD
G.Skill 8gb 1600 8-8-8-24 desktop...
I was just under the impression that it was for gaming. I personally think if you have to ask, you shouldn't really add more ram. If he needed more ram, he would have already done so without asking. =)
I think it all comes down to heat. If I were to use it with a nicely cooled case, I would just go with SB. But if I'm using an mini-itx board, IB better suited for that scenario.
If you already have exhaust rear and top fans, I would use the side panel as another exhaust. Honestly, you don't need it...unless you like having a loud computer
