My other major components include:

Abit ax78 motherboard
AMD x2 5000+ black edition
Lian li 61b case
Sapphire hd 2900Pro
4 gb mushkin 6400 ddr2 1.8 v ram
Corsair hx 620 power supply
sony dvd burner

vista 64 home premium operating system

plan to overclock cpu for gaming.

Will use for gaming, word processing (work) and web browsing.


I need a cpu heatsink/fan that will fit in lian li case and allow for overclocking (but not extreme overclocking).

Thanks for your assistance.

I used one of those "free after rebate" Coolermaster Hyper TX2s on my wife's machine. Only overclocked to 3ghz (she wouldn't let me keep playing with it, said it's stable, leave it alone lol), but it has been working fine.
