That looks excellent.


Should I get this processor instead?

That way I won't have to overclock and if I do, I'd have higher clock speeds?

Yep. Its very fast, it has good single threaded performance and being a higher tier chip it ought to overclock to even higher levels than that other chip.



Tease.

I was thinking "3.5g" syringe until I saw his invoice.

Maybe he's planning on coating his entire motherboard with AS5.

lol, I was going to buy 2 packs, but I might have screwed up the quantities.

Enough to start a Silver Man Group.

I sense a bit of condescention towards me from most of your posts in this thread.

Not so at all, I was only laughing at greenmedic's comment because he picked up that you added more than one syringe to your cart (one syringe of AS5 can easily do multiple CPU/HS's)
