Hi Guys- I think I am building a new system soon. I'm pretty sure I am settling in on a Bitfenix Prodigy for the chassis.
I am not a heavy gamer but I want the system to be somewhat capable. Looking for your recommendations. I'm leaning toward Intel for the CPU.
Areas I am concerned with:
CPU cooler (quiet is a priority but I don't think I am interested in H2O)
PSU selection (I hear size is an issue with this case)
Motherboard (this is a concern with respect to CPU cooler placement) - I like Intel if they have a good option.
I do like to overclock but not sure I want my rig designed with this as a major priority. I would consider the ability a bonus if I can get it w/o spending extra $. My Q9550 is currently at 3.4Ghz.
Appreciate any feedback you guys can provide. Thanks!
