I usually do include them, until i kept getting idiots saying "hurr durr who pays 4 w1nd0wz" so now, if they don't say...they don't get.

Buxtyy's build, go with it.

That's all you will need really, thermal paste 90% of the time comes on the processors nowadays.

When you say, "I already have OS", do you mean a legitimate bought copy, or do you plan on pirating?

Let me tell you, pirated OSs often are glitchy, have viruses, and it's not worth the risk.

That'll be all you need, you can even use the onboard audio on that motherboard unless the sound card is better quality.

Dude stop now. A virus in a non installed operating system? It has to be installed and its a lot of work to change the Windows code to install with a virus. It is extremely unlikely.

I meant you download a virus onto the computer you use to download.

And yes, viruses in an uninstalled OS. I've had it happen to me when I pirated Windows on an old computer I had sitting about. Constant pop-up ads. I don't use it.

The chances of getting a virus from downloading a .ISO image of Windows is just, so small its not even funny. I've made over 100 disks for people and not once have I had an alert.

You're right I was under the impression it provided a stronger signal, I have no idea where I got that idea from.

I thought i heard my spidey sense tingling. I chose the XFX Tahiti LE over the PCS+ because i own one and it has a better cooler than the PCS+ version.

At first glance I thought the cooling would be rubbish because of the single intake fan but it seems pretty effective looking at various benches.
Either card works just as well.

It's really not that small. Not a majority but a large portion. To find a virus piggybacking on an illegally downloaded piece of software is fairly common.

And as I said before, it isn't just viruses. It's the stability issues, updates, contacting support if something goes wrong isn't an option.

Why not just pay a bit to avoid all of these potential issues?
