Does this make any sense? I just installed an h100i. I know my chip runs hot, it's a i7 960. I currently have it overclocked to 3.72, and it's idling at about 46-48, and going up to 58-60 in prime95. I guess the load temp is what's important, but I thought it was odd.
i am buying new ram so can you tell me which is better

Hi New to the board and thanks in advance for any reply! What a great site for information.
I want to build my first computer mostly for gaming and flight sim x, i am looking to go no more than 1500.00

Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6600...
I rather not spend lots of money on a GTX 500 when i could upgrade my aging dual core setup. I was wondering if I just get a
core i5 setup with an additional GTX 460 1gb for sli if those graphic cards could hold up to the latest gaming on max settings in 1080p.
Question:
Is it worth upgrading my 6800GT AGP to a 7600GT AGP?
Is it worth it for any performance improvements?
Would it be a whole lot better to save up for a while and change completely over to PCI even if it could take a year?
Personal prefrences are welcome.
Cheers :D [/b]
