hmmm im not even sure where thoose numbers apply >.< for the heat sink dimensions does that mean from where it sits on the processor or what? from the numbers it fits in well but im guesing from what you wrote is that theres are sizes im not understanding corretly. i have changed it now becuase i really didnt undersatnd the sizes at all so hope this works >.<

I have another question. I saw on the processors that one said retail the other said OEM. does this actually mean anything to me and will it effect anything?

Thanks

i have been researching for most of the day and i cant make sence of motherboards. does anyone know if i can get away with a cheaper one?

i have been researching the graphics cards and seems the gtx570 is better than the hd6950 is if worth the extra few pound for the 570?

i have been checking other peoples posts and people keep posting the same processor as the one i choose but for £10 less that i cant find...im really confused. i was hoping to order all this today lol

thanks for your time :)
