Too bad you only want to use tigerdirect! OCN has a great For sale section...I have a e6300 an infinity 975x MB with a gig of ram up for grabs for $130. If you shop used you might be able to come up with a lot better deals.

ROFL im just a noob to overclocking...and I was putting together a WC loop and bong chiller at the same time(I am also a WC noob)...talk about too much work. have someone dump a bunch of new parts on your floor and say go for it see how much you post on OCN lol It was like pulling someone out of the 70's and handing them an Ipod.
