I would NOT get the 220 Watt FX-9590.It runs Extremly HOT.It is the same thing as the 125 watt FX-8350 with just higher core clock and + $110 price tag. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1633762 Don't get the Black Corsair 500R like I did.Every little spec of dust shows up on it.And it will look Horrible within a couple months.I've had mine for almost a year now and I still LOVE it other than the Black color.I may rip it apart and Paint it Red? or Orange? or something Bright.Oh and I changed out all of the WHITE LEDs in All of the fans and Power LED and HDD LED.Those damn white LEDs are BRIGHTER than the SUN.lol Make sure that IF you get the H100i that you dont get the Older H100 by mistake.It works good but Ive had to RMA mine twice before I got 1 that worked correctly.They shipped a batch out with a BAD 2nd fan controller.So 1 set of fans would run at 100% and the other 2 would not run at all.Not cool when your running 4 fans off of it and only 1/2 of them work. Sucks you cant build a "High End" Intel i7 PC for under $2500-$2700.Without cheaping out on the video card.Thats Alot of Scratch for something that may need replaced or upgraded 5 years. Janey could really use a decent PC for COD4. I might be able to spend more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

They're cheap and much more reliable than the onboard imo. Same speeds but I've just had better luck personally going that route. Besides, when 1 breaks (usually like it always does) you already have a backup! Like grabbing 2 pieces of cake at a wedding.

Now I have built mine up to a nice I-7 with 16G of ripsaw ram and 2 x GTX760 Nighthawks. And still have room with 7 pro to put a whole shit load more ram. Like I said build with the thought of your maxing out the rig down the road.
