My New Build - Phenom nom nom - Comments encouraged
So, I've been saving up some money to get rid of my old Pentium D Dual Core system and finally got enough to buy new guts, minus the case, HD's, and Optical drive. So let me know what you think, I will post pics when I get the shipment in...
So here's the parts list: GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-UD4H Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler OCZ Platinum Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 I got two sets of this memory, one with the cooler and one without for a total of 8GB. I already have: Sunbeamtech Transformer ATX 320GB Western Digital 16mb Cache HDD 500GB Seagate HDD (Not sure about the cache, Will look later) LG DVD DL DVD+-R/RW Rosewill 600W Power Supply (I highly Recommend) I will take pictures of my case and stuffs later. EDIT: I will be installing Vista Business 64Bit as it is free from my school.

Congrats on the build! But like someone already mentioned why the zalman cooler? there are much cheaper and MASSIVELY better performing coolers available.

Scythe Mugen 2 for $32 at newegg if it ever gets back in stock or $40 almost anywhere else: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835185093 Xigmatek S1283 for $27 AR http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835233003 Both of these will destroy the zalman AND cost less, a win win situation. Just make sure you make measurements to verify clearance with both coolers as they are rather large.
