    i5-2500 Rev 2

    If only i was fortunate enough to live near one. Thanks for catching that, meant to get the H67. And the SSD is for the OS and other apps that they will end up putting on this build so it 'feels fast'. Basically they want everything to boot up fast and since the SSD is on sale thats the route...

    i5-2500 Rev 2

    Ok so i posted a build a few days ago about building a comp for my wifes parents and got great feedback from people here.

    The purpose of this ram has no bearing on the OC itself. 1.5v or less is whats recommended for 1155 boards, and this ram is fast, cheap, and GSkill is reputable. @dpodblood i agree, about the OC, ill drop the cooler and an HDD and pick up a c300 instead.
