I wanna buy this today so if anyone could tell me if its ok, that would be cool

 

[p4radox]

Looks good to me. I'd get a Zalman VF900 over the Accelero though. What case is this going in?

I have 2 Accelero's on my Crossfire setup. Only good thing is that you cant hear them. They cool badly. DONT get them if you are OCing at all.

Gone with the zalman

 

[hyper_piper45]

I would be tempted to go e6300 and ds3/ds4 and overclock it. Will save some wad for pretty much the same performance.
