You do not have an OS disk such as Windows 7 64-bit, what will you be using.

Your aftermarket cooler, a very important thing I must make you aware of is that you do not need the additional heatsink and CPU fan and if you did use it you would void your CPU warranty both AMD and Intel are clear on this, see below;

AMD;
This Limited Warranty shall be null and void if the AMD microprocessor which is the subject of this Limited Warranty is used with any heatsink/fan other than the one provided herewith.

Intel;
damage to the Product due to external causes, including accident, problems with electrical power, abnormal electrical, mechanical or environmental conditions, usage not in accordance with product instructions, misuse, neglect, alteration, repair, improper installation, or improper testing;

Thanks for the reply! And sorry for hijacking the other thread. ( I tried to delete my reply but couldn't see that option)
As for the OS: I already have Windows 7 so that won't be a problem.
Thanks for the information on intel's warranty, wasn't aware of that.
I chose alternate cooling, because I've read several times that Intel's cpu cooling isn't good enough. Are the other hardware any good?

No worries as we all make mistakes

Is your Windows 7 disk a full retail type that has a product key that is not in use on another computer or is it a brand new OEM version and product key that has never been used.

Both AMD and Intel CPU coolers are tested over and above the temperatures that their CPUs will normally operate so no worries there.

Your choice of hardware is very good and you are welcome BTW

Well, let's just say that installing the OS is not going to be a problem for me
I figure, once the warranty is expired and i still haven't replace it with something else, i can always try an aftermarket cooler.
Also because this is going to be my first build, I'd rather keep it simple from the start and tweak my desktop as i learn new things over the years.
Thanks again for your help!
