^ looks better even though the cables are still there they are neater.
I just switched cases and got everything up and running. I broke my CPU cooler in the process but it still works I just had to use some tape to hold the fan away from the fins. I'll have some pics up as soon as my back stops hurting.

The CM R4's are some of the best fans for the money. I might have to order a couple. I have 4 of these in there right now http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...cm_re=cooler_master_R4-_-35-103-052-_-Product. There quiet but don't push to much air(but still more then the 80mm fans did in my last case)

Boot time is noticeably faster, and there is a noticeable difference in overall performance. I don't think I will ever use all the power it offers, I still haven't seen CPU usage go over 25%.

Kinda 2 is not enough 4 is to much
I got the Athlon II for free so that was the only reason I switched. Other wise I would of probably went with a 620 or 630 if I was paying for it.

Quad core POWA FTW
i dont know much about the tripple core AMDs...but cant they be unlocked to QUAD?
Yea most of them can unlock the 4th core. The Athlon II x3 can unlock the 4th core and very rarely it will unlock the L3 cache. Unfortunately my mobo doesn't have the correct settings I need to enable it.

How does one acquire an Athlon II x3 for free???

One of my friends wanted me to build a computer for her. I wouldn't take her money so as a payment she let me have the Athlon II I bought for her build and she took my old phenom she also got my old case.
Well thats a good deal.
I did the same thing too. When I built my mom's PC I ordered a Phenom II 550, but ended up giving her my 710 instead
. I'm a gamer so the higher core clock helped me, plus I lucked out being able to unlock to a quad too.
