Re: Computer Advice

I noticed that your choice for the CPU is the Core i5 2500k. Are you planning to overclock your PC in the future? If not, you can save $20 by purchasing the plain i5 2500 which doesn't have the CPU multiplier unlocked.

Also, the i5 2500k's integrated graphics HD Graphics 3000, compared to all other non-K-series CPUs which have HD Graphics 2000. It is equivalent to entry level AMD graphics cards (ATI Radeon HD 5450 and 4550) for comparison. The HD Graphics 2000 is not as exciting.
