Re: Buying a new Gaming PC
I've got the Phenom 965 BE running on the ASUS crosshair formula MB. GSkill Ram and an MSI GTX 460 1 gb. Coolermaster storm scout and a 30$ heatsink that works great.
It's a good cpu. The 3.4 can be overclocked to an even 4.
The only thing I would have wanted to know for sure is the gpu brand(asus, msi, sapphire, etc) and the specifics of the motherboard. I noticed it doesn't have usb 3 support and only one 16x slot which limits your option to add a second gpu, which in 2 years would reinvent your rig.
Good choice though, a good gaming rig at a good price.
I'd recommend an aftermarket heatsink(coolermaster) since the extra size won't be interfering with an added jumbo gpu.
