Re: Upgrade Advice - 2 computer
hmmm, have that fan already, nice... my current mobo is msi and it's died, I'm going steer away from MSI from now on as that's the 2nd one I've owned that's crapped out now... but thanks that's gets me in the general dir'n....
so Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge is the best bang for my buck in my price range? |

Re: Upgrade Advice - 2 computer
if you want a i5 2500K, get it from microcenter, they are quite cheap there:
