HI Domzz and welcome to the forum

Couple of things for you to think about the E5200 is a 800Mhz FSB and 2 meg cache so you don't need the 1066 memory you never get the cpu to overrun 800 memory.
Also Intel retail cpu's come with a heat sink and fan in the box if your planing on overclocking and that's why you picked the Asus cooler then you would be better off with a Gigabyte or Asus Board.
Also you might want to look at the E7200 wich is a Core2Duo with more cache and a 1066Mhz FSB for about $40 more.
What are you looking to do with your new PC?

The computer is going to mainly for the new WOW coming out and maybe COD4 / COD5 and AOC but maily for online gaming but i dont need high end stuff just something nice to play with :)

Domzz · 09-30-2008, 01:40 PM

So, what do you think i should change about it? different processer? Because i was also looking at a Quad Core but i think its alillte out of my leuge atm, So a nice Duo core? :)

Domzz · 09-30-2008, 02:12 PM

Would Intel CPU Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53GHz Wolfdale 1066MHz FSB Retail inc.Fan Be a better idea then?

**wrench97** · 09-30-2008, 02:53 PM

I think you would see the difference in the 2 the 7200 is a faster CPU, They both (E7200, E5200) come with a fan heat sink assembly, which at stock speeds cool them just fine, for gaming you don't need/want a Quad core games are just starting to use 2 cores effectively gaming id still about clock speed, here is an article comparing the E7200 to a Q6600 and a E8400 > http://www.techspot.com/review/100-i...re2-duo-e7200/

Well, i don't mean to berude but im not very "tech" so i not 100% sure what you mean :P but with the componts i have which processor do you think i should get and will all the parts work with each oher? Sorry if that seems rude in any way, Alos thank you for helping my so far :)

**wrench97** · 10-01-2008, 01:05 PM

Budget the E7200, for an all out gaming rig the E8400 or E8500.

Domzz · 10-01-2008, 02:52 PM

Thanks for the help, after thinking it over i think im going for the E8400 :)
