I would appreciate any comments on the above spec. It is to be used mainly for Photoshop and Lightroom (editing 7MB RAW files). General internet work and a small amount of gaming (not cutting edge).
Any comments welcome
Thanks
 
It looks good although I'd probably suggest either sticking with the stock cooler or going for the more expensive Noctua NH-U12F or Tuniq Tower as the Arctic Freezer 7 is apparantly a bit variable in the quality. :)
 
Looks good as is......

You'll proberly get the usual change the cooler and upgrade to an 8800 comments, but for your uses it looks perfectly fine to me.
 
agreed swap ram if your overclocking

acf7p has been sound for me my e6300 fully loaded at 3.15 never goes over 56-58 c and there easy to fit/remove

obviously there are better coolers but for under 20 quid its a bargain if your trying to stick to a budget

Click to expand...

If you're overclocking then switch to a Noctua NH-U12F or Tuniq Tower as semi-pro waster has already said. I own a Freezer 7 Pro and I'm not a fan of them... will be changing mine soon.
