I do not think overclocking a 2.5 ghz processor to 4.5 ghz will have good consequences, no matter how good your cooling is.

You might as well kiss your processor goodbye right now.

Wait what?

3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost)

That seems reasonable

2.5 to 4.5 does not


wait oh 2500k isnt the processor speed aaa and my math would be off either way lol

Where did you get 2.5 from?

Dont forget to add a warranty+repair service as a positive for prebuilt and a con for self assembled.  The warranty service that comes with literaly any prebuilt computer that is not really possible for self assembled computers has saved me several times.

where the hell do you buy parts when you build computers lol, everytime i've bought a component it has a warranty with it.

You best be trolling.

im planning to upgrade to a 6990 and an am3+ mobo in the somewhat near future. I hope bulldozer cpus aren't outrageously expensive

Edit:  Looking through your hard drive choices, they all are poop.
No 6gb/s
Overpriced for amount of disk space
Inferior buffer something (whatever it is)

I would replace literally all of them with this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=744451&CatId=2459

The caviar green sucks ass. It's not a hard drive that people should get unless they really really need to save money. The SpinPoint is faster.

Now I realize that you don't know what you are talking about.

TBH though their performance wasn't that great compared to a 2500k, which outperforms generally.
It pains me to say that, I love AMD.

1TB of RAM is impossible. It'd be 1TB HDD, which is pretty much average nowadays.

OK, and for cooling. Should I get liquid-cooling to overclock the 2500K to around 4.3 - 4.5 GHz? Or jsut a Hyper 212+?
