It'd make more sense to either just wait a little longer to put the i5 and an 8GB kit in from the start, or build with a HDD initially in order to fit those parts into the same budget. Similarly, the stock cooler should be fine for stock speeds. I wouldn't go with the bottom end ones (H81, etc), but the Hx7 should be fine if you aren't overclocking.
While I'm more of the mind to go with it anyway, you do have some potential to cut costs by shifting down to an H-series board instead of a Z-series.

Similarly, the RAM kit you have spec'ed is 4x1GB DIMMs, meaning, if/when you upgrade (as you said in the other thread you wanted to), you'll need to pull some of the RAM out to make room. The heatsink fan is in the way, but I removed the fan, installed the chip, and reinstalled the fan a notch higher to give the heat spreader some room.Personally, I'd rather not save money by buying parts I'll have to swap out later.Īn i5 would be at least double what the Pentium is, but I'd try to rejigger stuff and/or just pay for one to start with. I did have a bit of difficulty installing the ram chip (which has a heat spreader) into the first slot. Granted, I don't have any side fans installed. Overall Review: I was afraid this wouldn't fit on my mobo and into the case, but it cleared my Rosewill R5 gaming case easily. Cooler Master's website has a how-to video and that helped tremendously. I probably could've figured it out, but I decided not to take a chance since this was my first time with an aftermarket. The instruction booklet was a bit confusing to follow. This concerned me a little but I guess as long as I don't touch it, it shouldn't move on its own. wow!! I've never installed an aftermarket cpu fan before but this thing is huge! How is it going to stay on the mobo sideways without falling over? LOLĬame with plenty of thermal paste (which I foolishly used a bit too much of)Ĭons: Not sure if this is by design, but after installing the heatsink, I was still able to twist it back and forth, pretty easily. Pros: My first impression when taking it out of the box.
