Re: My VERY first build! need advice
might not necessarily be an improvment but as a case, the antec 900 looks a lot better than the xclio and might have better cooling (especially with the extra side fan fitted) and it is the same price.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129021. also you could get some faster ram http://www.ebuyer.com/product/120453 and maybe some more of it (~4Gb). anyways, good luck with the build. |

Re: My VERY first build! need advice
Looks good to me...the 680i chipset is getting older...but it still works good...
As long as you have the pushpins set correctly, and you aren't offroading with your computer on the backseat, the pins hold pretty well...just make sure they make a snapping sound when installing. I have that particular cooler and like it quite a bit...don't be like me...read the directions and take the fan off when installing...it makes your life much easier. |
