for what i do on a computer I have no use for an i7 CPU and aside from that the i5 overclock capability is very good 4.1 ghz stable at 60c with a decent heatsink

as for 8g of ram i wasnt gonna get a 64bit OS then run 4g of ram, the cost of the 850w PSU ws less then the cost of a 700 or 650 belive it or not, it was on sale, I might also be running a second graphics card.

and yes I'm currently looking to get an aftermarket CPU cooler, I mentioned it above

I went with what I know from my previous builds when I was buying this stuff, I've used ASUS mobo's on my last 3 builds and intel cpu's I'm sure I could have gone a different route with the same performance or better performance for less or the same money. just went with the old faithful. Everything I've read in reviews about these parts is that they are great for an entry level computer which is what I was aiming for I dont do any heavy gaming or design it's basically just an every day computer with a bit extra incase I need it
