Hey everyone,
I've been looking at building a new gaming PC as mine is getting a bit outdated (Q6600/GTX285).
I've been thinking about getting:
Firstly, what sort of power draw would this have ie. what wattage PSU should I get?
Secondly, I'd probably overclock the CPU, but not to the extreme; is the stock cooler fine or should I consider something like the Gelid Tranquillo (I've read good reviews for a cheap cooler)?
Thirdly, how future-proof do you think this build would be? I've had my PC for about 4 years, and would like that to be the case again.
Thanks in advance
