I have a Cooler Master HAF 932 and have no grounding problems o.O. Also, it's a full tower and lots of space, you'll like it :D

I just finished my new build with the following: Asus Sabertooth x58 i7 950 @ stock Geforce 470 GSkill PI 3x2GB Corsair 750TX 750W PSU WD 640 GB HDD Some Asus dvd burner I installed the OS, and I know I still have to install the Graphics Card Driver, but do I have anything after that? Thanks

I see, thanks!

Yeah you've been helpful :D Unfortunately my budget doesn't reach that far :( (hadn't planned on getting an i7 in the first place, but I saw it for cheap :P) so would the Cooler Master (first link) be adequate? I don't plan on OCing off the bat, but if I do, it will probably be 3.8 or 4.0 Thanks

I see, but should I just get an aftermarket cooler and compound? Because I have read some pretty bad reviews on the stock one. I was looking at: Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus Intel Core i5 & Intel Core i7 compatible RR-B10-212P-G1 120mm "heatpipe direct contact" Long life sleeve CPU...

Hi, I just got an i7 950, and do not plan on OCing just yet, so will the stock cooler and the stock thermal compound be sufficient for cooling if I run it at stock speeds? If it matters, I have a HAF 932 case. Thanks

That Gateway only has a 400W powersupply, and it says the 5770 needs 450 min :O

Thanks again, Also, I read somewhere in another thread that i7 needs tri channel RAM, so what's good tri-channel RAM? Do I have to change anything else? EDIT: I found this: my current PSU + 3 x 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.543328 EDIT2: I read that...

I didn't want to create a new thread for these questions.. so: I found an I7 for 200: Micro Center - Intel Core i7-950 3.06GHz Boxed Processor 865204 and I plan on getting this motherboard: Newegg.com - ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard Is this a...

Gigabyte is still a good brand correct? I didn't know which 6870 to get so I just chose the one most suggested on this board. Also, is the 6870 better than the GeForce 460? Turns out I also need a new monitor because my current one is VGA, and my friend says my monitor won't utilize the full...

If I do not plan on overclocking my processor or GPU off the bat, do I really need the CPU cooling right now? Also, how long does it generally take newegg to restock? because the GPU just went out of stock :( Thanks once again :P

Thanks for your inputs guys, What's the difference between Caviar black and caviar blue? I found this: Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar Black WD6402AAEX 640GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive Same price and size so no harm done :P What other items will I...

Hi there. I decided to try my hand at building a computer because my current computer isn't good, and I don't want to buy pre built ones anymore :(. So here is the list I've come up with to include in my computer: Case: Either: Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER HAF 932 Black RC-932-KWN3 Black Steel...
