Blah, only got about an hour of reading time tonight x_X Stupid mom's computer (ancient) is riddled with Chinese junk (we're azn btw) and I had to troubleshoot why the household printer wouldn't print.
One thing's for sure... unless I absolutely have to, I'm not taking the risk of a water cooling system. Anyone still looking at that for cooling options can forget about it until my next rig. K? K.
Some more questions below. Keep in mind this computer isn't going to be the final deal of my life, far from it.
--CPU, cores, and MOBOs are all separate components, right?
--USB sockets... where do those come from? I would assume they're integrated into some of the hardware components on my shopping list already, but then again I'm the dumb one xD I think I'll be needing at least three of them, but there are so many possible uses for them, who knows. I would like to avoid spending money just for these things if possible, since I imagine that some of the cost can be subsidized.
--I might have jumped the gun a little bit when I said I didn't need quad core. I understand that some amount of processing power is still needed when playing games, such as emulating physics. Still, I probably won't need a quad core, right?
Bed time for me again, bbl tomorrow...
