The biggest thing is to make sure things work together. Thanks for the offer & the other advice from everyone so far. I built machines successfully in 2000 2003 2007 & am still using the last 2 , tho' the 2007 mobo failed (ASUS) & its replacement is showing minor bugs (glad I got in-store warranty). Therefore, I'm not looking for basic advice how to put a box together. I'm also willing to pay for a fast upto-date CPU, but not of course whatever came out just last week, which will soon drop in price & will still need some bugs sorting out. I don't have to choose between a good CPU & a good SSD & expect to get a competitive price from Canada Computers, as before. Any further thoughts re Intel vs AMD wb very welcome. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
