Avoid C2C. They are renowned for selling fake GPU's. There was a member in TE who got a 9600GT which turned out to be fake and there was a long thread too about this. Stick to SMC or CE among the big stores, if u are buying from NP.Marcus Fenix said:Not much but you can always oc it much easily without fear of warranty loss.If you are planning to go Dual-GPu at a later point of time u better go for the i5 as it will not bottleneck the dual GPus at high resolution as much as the phenom 955

Why does he need a H55 based board when he is investing in a discrete graphics card, much better to go for the P55 in my opinion and the MSI P55 GD 65 is a great board for the price ~ 7.5Krite said:Core i5 760 + 4gb DDR3 1600 + Gigabyte/MSI/Asus H55 + 6850
