ok

Your gonna need an internal hdd also even if it's only 50gb or so.....

RAM is expensive, try crucial

Ambrosia 28 Sep 2008, 18:03

Skydeh 28 Sep 2008, 18:04
That's ok then :D

I would get the RAM somewhere else, that seems very expensive to me

Ambrosia 28 Sep 2008, 18:05
stmps told me to get branded (ocz for example) since it'll last longer on vista
Parent

Skydeh 28 Sep 2008, 18:07
Yeah get branded, but kingston or crucial tbh. You wud be able to get 4GB of them for alot cheaper then your paying for that OCZ

Why would you buy the e8500? e8400 is better and costs less
▼
Ambrosia 28 Sep 2008, 18:03
Should I take the 8400 instead?

OfficerCohen 28 Sep 2008, 18:05

Parent

im a tree 28 Sep 2008, 18:11
depends if you want to oc or not

both will oc just as far, e8400 is cheaper

personally id take e8400 and spend the money saved on an aftermarket cpu cooler, eg, zalman, arctic freezer 7, scythe mugen, or whatever

Because just maybe I don't walk around in the real world flaming and trolling.

Although after my last relationship I'm asking pretty much the same question so, you're actually right on the money!
