Hey everyone, a few months back I posted for some tips and to review my build I had back then and since the 7950 is out now I have redone it yet again.
I will be using it for gaming, music and streaming. I may overclock later if and when I decide to get a cpu heatsink. Is there any tips or comments that can help me? This is technically my first build.
