i made some suggestions in your PM if you haven't checked. like i said if you would be interested in learning how to overclock the 3800+ or opteron 165 are better choices. i and many other forum members are more than willing to help. the 4200+ is not worth the extra ~$100 as you could probably hit 4600+ or even 4800+ speeds on stock cooling if you are lucky. that is if you choose to overclock

 

[Tordenskjold]

I dont think i will oveclock because i am to much of a n00b. I can also overclock the 4200+ when i become more experienced, yes?

 

[Nitestick]

yes you could overclock the 4200 its just the 3800 and opteron 165 would be better value.

 

[Tordenskjold]

yeh well i can afford it so... i am also going to upgarde my case to the shark case with a 430W PSU. so i dont have to upgrade.

 

[Ridlyn]

Dont use the cases PSU's because generally there crap. Buy an antec truepower 2.0 550w.

 

[Nitestick]

ditto. you should buy a new power supply. i have probably exactly the same psu as will be coming in that case. it is reasonably nice but i wouldn't use it on my precious X2. its currently powering a K6-II pc because its the only spare ATX psu i had
