So it comes with 4, and one empty?

[QUOTE="Snow2Day"]Will i notice a difference between the two? I don't think i will be doing overclocking or anything right away so if its not raelly going to make a change cheapers always better.WDT-BlackKat

Well it's not a hugely significant improvement, but then $5 isn't much either. I wasted that much on a scratch ticket this morning.

This is very true ha. Well most of the parts seem pretty good, and i am probably going to build something close to that. Maybe change the controller panel and monitor. I love the blue glow. How many fans do you think it would need? or would the two front ones be enough(Doubtful)

Ok so really then a 22" is very noticably different, but does it lag much more? or will all of this support it enough to not be glitchy?(considering the resolution size)

Still very iffy on the vista because of my lack of knowledge with mostof this, its going to be complicated enough already.

Alot of the reviews i have seen on g.skill aren't too good. Clearly you say different cause you're telling me to get that, jw why g.skill rather than ocz or corsair.

Also, rather than a 22" screen, would it make more sense to save on that some and put more into the computer itself. Or would a screen size smaller ruin the view?

Ok here's the deal.

I leave for college in a month. I have about 1,500$ to put into this computer. Also need a monitor, decent one. The computer is basically just for gaming (aside from typing papers). I'm pretty much noob to this, but it's something i've always wanted to do. Im guessing i'll be going with the E8400, or would it be worth going for the E8500 for the extra 20$??Anyways, basically leaving it up to who ever has the knowledge about this. Will be building it based of what you say.

Would really appreciate the help, thanks.

I have 1400$ and am looking to building a gaming cpu. I have parts in mind but this is pretty new to me. Not sure how much power id need to run certain things, how good of a fan, if the parts work correctly together.

Ideas for a build i can start off? Preferably AMD rather than intel.
