Make sure you get the right socket type for your motherboard!

Well this is the motherboard.

I'd go with this processor then.

i7? AMD always has less expensive processors and drops the prices. Keep in mind that you'll be needing RAM, a motherboard, a case and a PSU.

[Slacker Magician]

By the way, CPU has to be the right socket type for the motherboard. Which is why Wyrm suggested what he did .

Go with 8GB of RAM instead of 16GB.

That's just silly.

Go with 8GB of RAM instead of 16GB.

That's just silly.

Yeah, it's overkill. Get the 8GB indeed.

[Nemkoon]

BUT 8GB IS NOT ENOUGH!

[Wyrm]

BUT 8GB IS NOT ENOUGH!

You don't need 16GB unless you plan on running a server on the thing.

[Nemkoon]

Hence the wacko.
