it was still $615, so not much of a price difference

Seagate or Western Digital for a HDD?

Someone told me on the Buildapc IRC that the barracuda had a better cache or something which doesn't make any sense because they're both 64MB.

and yeah I guess not, it was for me because I planned to buy everything from Newegg though.

I have a WD blue, try looking for a WD black or blue, stay away from green if you can. I know bearly anything about seagate.

you mean 64mb? he fixed it.

And I don't see how it would be a difference between Seagate and WD hard drives. I cannot trust the brand hitachi for anything.

Not sure if 100% relative but:
I was working on a PC trying to remove something and a barbed piece of metal jabbed into my finger. The cut isn't wide but its deep and tore its way through.
Its a good 3/4 centimeter deep. (sorry for bad quality)


On a more ontopic thing:
No beeps and no display. I tried using the integrated and a non integrated GPU but no luck. The PC also doesn't turn off once turned on.

Does this come with a CPU Cooler? AMD FX-4350 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor. On Intel products it usually tells you so that's why i'm wondering.

When you buy a CPU a heat sink comes with it. A good cooler is sold separately.

Just wondering, not used to buying AMD. The last 2 Intel's I bought had "Heatsink Included: Yes" so that's why I was wondering.

When buying CPUs they'll %99.99 if not %100 have a heatsink and thermal paste applied already.

yes it does have a stock heatsink and fan, always a good idea to go for an aftermarket heatsink, but AMD stock coolers are usually pretty decent

stop.
for a gaming PC it is better to have the extra ghz per core than it is to have 2 cores that are hyperthreaded and most likely will server /no/ use in modern games.  we've been over this I think two-three pages ago, go look there and figure out why he chose the 4350 over the 6300

stock coolers are garbage

[Racerboy]

I was surprised at the size of my AMD stock cooler, it fit in like the palm of my hand, was so loving small compared to my geminII jesus christ.

and yes I'm using my new tower here, first post on the new build hoorah
