Also, if u will take the CPU cooler, u need a thermal paste.


Use the Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - OEM

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007
17626__06818_zoom.jpg

This 3.5-gram tube contains enough compound to cover at least 15 to 25 small CPU cores, or 6 to 10 large CPU cores, or 2 to 5 heat plates.
99.9% PURE SILVER
The Arctic Silver 5 uses three unique shapes and sizes of pure silver particles to maximize particle-to-particle contact area and thermal transfer.
HIGH DENSITY
The Arctic Silver 5 contains over 88% thermally conductive filler by weight. The thermally-enhanced ceramic particles including micronized silver, sub-micron zinc oxide, aluminum oxide and boron nitride particles improve the compound's performance and long-term stability.
 


... and what do I do with the standard that comes with CPU? remove it? :pt1cable:
 

===============================
hey, are you having fun with me? 😀 Enough! No thermal paste. I guess people here won't know what to do with it!
 


====================
OK, I'll get this SSD.
But instead of the COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1, shouldn't I go back to Corsair CML8GX3M2A1600C9 and just it?
 
When you say SSD are you referring to Mushkin Enhanced Chronos MKNSSDCR60GB 2.5" 60GB SATA III Asynchronous MLC Internal Solid State Drive
3.5” adapter bracket included ??
 
U can get this one. They are all great.
