i would rank myself as having a moderate understand of PC's, i can troubleshoot computer errors extremely well and install simple upgrades such as RAM and expansions, but when it comes to putting a CPU into a mobo, thats where im clueless and need help...plus i need to know the limitations of this setup and if there are any bottlenecks that stand out...as of now i've saved this list on newegg...
