So far I have got the motherboard, a cpu, and a fan for that cpu. To this point I have spent around $550.
The cpu is an Intel Duo Core 2.66Ghz CPU. I plan to overclock this to 3.2Ghz. I have already bought Artic Silver 5 to protect the cpu along with a $40 cpu cooling fan. Below is a nice picture of the box for the CPU (I know, kind of pointless) and a picture of the fan. On the bottom is my motherboard. Oh, and I also already have the case, which arrived today. All is pictured below.
I’m planning on buying some of the RAM this week so I can boot this thing up to ensure its all working. Everything has at least a 3 year warranty with the motherboard coming with a lifetime warranty.
