      Way too many of you guys are upgrading. Making me jealous that I can't swing one right now because of my fence replacement.

            Looks good. One problem I see: that SSD is probably going to be too small. I have a 120GB SSD, and it was half full after installing the OS and drivers. I would recommend getting at least a 120GB drive.

                    you have a water cooler and a CPU fan? i must admit, you got me confused. is the fan to keep your old rig cooler or something?

                    if that MSI board is anything like mine, there is a straight up OC switch on the board itself, 10/15/20% OC no fuss.

                        my friend threw in the water cooler for free as a freebie.. i didnt get any of these from neweggs or tiger.. got it thru my friends comp shop. same goes for the 60 SSD got it for free too.. so who knows if i might need it later or give it way.

                        yea the MSI mobo has the OC switch "1sec OC" or w/e its called.

                          hell, i guess go with the water cooler. even if its only the h50, i bet it does better than the fan.

                          bummer on the no cpu yet, thats the most important part( unless you are missing some other part, then that is the most important one!)
