People,
http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-microsd-card-could-survive-anything-even-being-run-over-by-an-11-ton-roller/

Ethan, I need to know if I would be able to fit this CPU cooler into this case. The height of the CPU cooler is 160mm and the case manufacturer says on its website that the largest CPU cooler that the case can fit is 160mm. I want it to be able to fit and close the case panel, I don't want to have one of those computers with no side. I want a CPU fan with a Blue LED that can support a 2600K OC to 4.2-4.5GHz. I looked at the ZALMAN cooler as well but I absolutely hate the look of the copper pipes when inside the case. I also do not want to go the route of buying a H80 cooling system because I have no idea on how to maintain it and I have heard so many bad things about those coolers. halp.

If I was OC'ing in that range, I'd be getting a cooler from a better brand than that.
I'd personally get something better and stick a high quality LED fan on it. And yes, I would say that it would fit though, but no way to be sure unless you ordered them and tried it.

Would the CPU cooler you suggested: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065
fit in this case I asked about?: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119216

With room to spare.

Oh stuff, robo noob is back

I'm going to be buying:
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161396

Edit: Good choices?

Yes, very good choices. That PSU may be a bit overkill for that GPU, but better that then not enough. BTW do you want the bright blue GPU?

If you guys could help me with my Windows 7 booting issue here, that would be great.

How long has it been since you bought the computer/last reinstalled Windows?
Quite often a really bloated windows installation can just glitch at startup like that.

Apparently my mainboard, 'Asus P8H61-M LX2' dosen't allow me to overclock my Intel Core i5 2500K, is there any way to do it? Or will I not be able to do it at all?

That motherboard natively supports overclocking, so I'm unsure why you can't. Can you find the settings in the bios?

would an AMD Athlon II X2 260 Processor be better than an Intel Pentium G480?

btw, il be using the geforce 550 Ti

Yes.

how the forget to clean out useless trialprograms

Reinstall windows
ccleaner

I would get the latest stuff there is, but I'm paying a maximum of £80 for the GPU and CPU each (so it's a total of £160 altogether). I've seen the Phenom 2, but it's quite a bit more expensive than the Athlon, and from what I've seen, the Athlon 2 is completely capable of gaming.

I'd try get a Phenom II x4 if possible. I know the lowest end one used to fit into the 80 pound budget, not sure if it does anymore.

It still works well enough to say if you can run it or not.
If it says you can run it though, don't expect to run on Max anythings if it says above system requirements.

Nope, it doesn't.

Why the forget did you bump this when you were provided with the answer already?

Cause the website is inaccurate.

Anyway, OP, you should be fine running it. It only requires a GeForce 6XXX series, and your video card is superior to some of those lower end ones in that range.
I also suggest that if you have any more questions like this, that you post them in the computer megathread. That way, you get correct advice, instead of people suggesting when they are wrong. System Requirements Lab is so off, it even says that my dual HD6990, i7-990x system wouldn't run Crysis well, when it chews it up and spits it out at 100+ FPS easily.
