don't buy a phenom II X4 965/970.....

Just buy the cheaper 955 and spend the money you save on a better cooler. It appears I got a pretty decent (understatement) 955 from TigerDirect for $119 on sale the other day. It's probably a down binned 970 but I'm not complaining! http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu62/Margay20/4gigger.jpg stuff...

thanks. just installed it and already like it better than 3.x. I had some issues with larger text on 3.x ( eyes shot ) and with 4 it seems to react better to the larger text I need. Now where did I put my glasses !! :-)

One thing I'd suggest is to really read up on whichever burner you buy ( i.e. firmware updates, compatible media etc ) before you jump in. Same goes for whatever burning prog you decide to use. I chose ImgBurn because the prog's author has an amazing support forum. It's located here....... http://fo...

Only thing I did was update my firmware from CL0G to the latest version, CL0K. Did a 24.6GB folder of mp3's from ...

I like what you have listed. I'm using a MicroATX ( in a full tower case with 4 hard drives, 3 opticals, PCIE 1x RAID card, Vidcard, floppy etc etc. You'll be fine as long as you're not looking to do SLI or anything crazy like that. The good MicroATX boards used to be about $85 but they all went up ...
