    Ok just got done with it. My HD Xfer rate is now a 7.6 on Windows Experience. Up .3 points. Sweet! Core's also only hit a max of 40Cel during the tests. I'm not sure how intensive the tests are, but I think that would be a good benchmark to say everythings running cool eh? Thanks again

    Ok PCH Sata in the bios is set to IDE not AHCI. Can I simply change that in bios or do I need to do something else? Also should either of these HD's be hooked to the Sata 3 ports on the MB? Currently they're both hooked into Sata 2 ports. That's one place I'm not clear on. Just didn't know...

    I ended up using this board not the msi if that helps any. I'll look in bios when I get home and see what I can see there

    Yah I got disk management setup for the 2nd HD np, I was refering to switching from Sata to AHCI. How to do that and what benefits it had. I already assembled the comp and it's up and running, but thanks for the input :)

    Say What? lol. Can you explain how to do that in detail and what pro's/con's it has? Got it detected, format'd and assigned, thanks!

    Using Aida 64 it says the Cpu is @ 20Cel, and each core is up to 30Cel at an idle. On a side note, windows is not detecting the data drive. It shows up in bios though. Wonder if I need to set the jumpers to slave, although the cheap drive that was recommended didn't come with a jumper :/...

    One other quick question. The heatsink itself on the 212+ once fully installed moves ever so slighty rotationaly. The mounting screws on the "spider" attachment are fully seated. Is this normal?

    So I got all my parts and am in the process of building the rig, but the cooler master 212+ fan says it's 1156 and NOT 1155 compatible.....Ugh...Is this correct? On the website it says it's good for 1155 and you guy's recommended it with my 2500k, but the box and manual say 1156.... Help...

    Super. Thanks guy's for all the help. I think I'm set for my build. Decided to just stick with 1 SSD and maybe upgrade to a gen 3 later rather than doing a raid setup.

    Oh since no one commented on the MB, I assume it will be/work fine with the 2500? Unfortunately it's out of stock. Any other recommendations, or stick with it? Thanks again so much guy's

    Ok good thought. Is there that big of a jump between the 560 and the 570 to make it worth it? Noted on the PS and Cooler. That a better drive? Obviously it's cheaper. Maybe I'll grab 2 of them and run Raid for only $40 more than I planned.

    The 2500 is the i5 correct? Any suggestions on which board to use with it? And just to clarify the 2500 will handle any of the games fine, no need to really step up to an i7?

    Ok I realize there are many threads on the subject but that's exactly why I'm in this quandry. I had setup a system I thought would handle anything current day games on Ultra with no issue's, and then in reading some of the other threads I've begun to question my thinking. i5 vs i7 etc. So...
