ive gotta a few newb questions to ask about building a computer- they are actually really stupid but owell


Im building a computer in a coolermaster cent 5 w/ an amd 3800. does anyone reccomend a hsf? I was thinking this one- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118118

also- if i buy some parts off of newegg and they are oem, will i have all i need cords wise to hookem up?

finally(and the stupidest) when you buy a processor, does the little sticker come with it? (i told you) lol
 
OEM means just the component, so it'd be pretty unlikely that you'll get any cables with your purchases. (For example, an OEM HDD just comes as a hard drive in an antistatic case.) And unless you buy your CPU OEM it will have a sticker. ;) (At least, i'm pretty sure it won't have a sticker with it when you buy OEM, but i'm not positive.)

edit: i've heard good things about Zalman, but i couldn't say anything helpful personally. Try the OCing/Cooling sub-forum for that if you don't get any responses here.
 
Don't buy anything that combines fan and LED, no matter how reputable the company is.

I like my Arctic Cooling Freezer 64, personally... There's a pro version out that's even better.
 
That zalman is actually a very nice cooler. I'd recommend it.

I'm not aware of any reason not to have an LED in it

Rice for your computer. No thanks. Stick with a Freezer 64 or an XP-90 or something along those lines.
