What's worse is when you finally do go ahead with the purchase after a week or two of careful deliberation, weighing up each option and double-checking everything, only to discover that the components have gone out of stock. Even worse than that is when the components you've bought show up in "This Week Only" the following week.

On a less pessimistic note, that looks to be an excellent system :)
 
lol its not just me then. took me ages. i had so many different baskets full of items i had to start printing the screen so i could remember my choices for next time...
 
i would hate to have to install a watercooler, i have enough problems fitting the stock 775's :D THAT LAST PIN AHHHH!!! :mad:
 
ha ha, just done that with a Q9550 cpu, compare, check speeds, think, think more, think that the E5200 ive got is fine, think i need a better one, think about the money etc etc!!

It just eats away all week untill you press it, then i sigh of relief, decision made, but was it the right one??????? YES DAMN YOU, YES IT WAS!!!!

Oh, and ive just installed the H50, bit of a jiggle to fit in the bracket but its easy
 
I'm still hovering, full of doubts and desire. Once I get paid next thursday, I am clicking that badboy once and for....well until I decide I need another upgrade.
 
Haha. I feel exactly the same sometimes. I think it's the fear of buyers remorse. That sinking feeling "why did I buy this, was it a good idea?!"

But in the end...hell yes, it always (usually is).

Had it a few times with games. Bought the game, walked out the shop and gone "why did I buy this".

I walked right back in and refunded it (in this case Operation Flashpoint).

it does but i rubbed it off and used some heatsink compound, dont know why, just seemed better than the pre applied stuff.

Im also only running it with the single supplied fan as an exhaust, not 2 in push/pull as most are, works fne for me
 
LOL i pressed the buy button on a few i7 components last thursday and since then i've been pressing the buy button on quite a few other things :eek:

The thermal compound is fine by the way. Right now with my i7@4Ghz its idle between 31c-38c roughly and on prime load (30 minutes in) it barely manages to get to 70c, i think i had one core on 70c, the rest were 69c-68c, which is good enough for me. Also my corsair H50 is in a push/pull config by the way.
