and now u must help me pick currently im in favor of the X2 but i need advice this is my first pc build im 16 and have alot of tech kno how and alot of general technological sense


also any advice on other componants i should include or any advice what so ever
 
because its not worth the extra cash (in my opinion).
what will you be doing with the pc? it may not be worth the money.
if gaming: what games?
 
well ill be doing gaming like ut2k4 and in the future ut 2k7 and plenty of multi taskin...but i thought the opteron was a lower level procesor???..i def dont have the cash for the FX i would love to though :-)..sigh.....that thing is a beast
 
im not gonna try that fora while cuz like i dont kno..how to o/c it i kno i could EASILY find out how to on the net...but i also have to decide weather i should go with air/heat or water cooling???...help??....suggestions
 
Your better off with air cooling, it's much less of a hassle. Water cooling is meant more for the extreme overclockers, however alot of air cooling can be just as good.
 
tru tru.....only thing is that like...like for example the big water from thermal take..looks freakin scik with uv lights on it...i really like the good looking stuff

Then go for UV air cooling with round uv cables, and a UV sleeve kit for the PSU
 
mmm....good idea...thanks man..i will try that once i start buying and such....and i mean i guess in the future i can always upgrade to water cooling if i fee like it ..
 
yea if u have the money i definitely suggest water cooling... its really cool (haha literally cool) but just make sure you sorta kinda understand how it works before u install it
