Looking around I think C3 runs on slightly lover vcore and more stable... Thanks for the input.

What about all this 7mb here's the cpu: http://www.amazon.co_uk/dp/B002BFOCW4/?tag=tec053-21 why does it state 7mb when I think they're all 7mb!!

Should I get 555 or 550....... I can change the order.

Are you 100% sure the 555 is better than the 550 7mb edition???

If you're sure (it's the 7mb special edition I've ordered) then I will also order the 555 BE and send the 550 back when it arrives............

I've also just bought an HR-01 for the CPU, an HR-09s for mosfets and an Evercool NCA-610 Serpent Chipset Cooler for the NB. Thought I'd put my board and cpu savings to good use!! Just ichin to get all the bits here now... maybe I'll take some pics of the build and upload them here...

Update I just bought the GA-870a-UD3 AND Phenom II X2 550 3.1 GHz 7MB Cache Edition (Black Edition) For £158 shipped from Amazon.... Should be fun!!!

So now it's processor choosing time..... x2 or x4? of course unlocked multiplier is always nice, but with an htt that will clear 300mhz it's not necessary. What's the best chip for 4ghz+ Will 4 cores make a massive difference? And I'm looking at changing my arctic freezer 64 for an HR-01

GA-870a-UD3 Thanks again to you all for the input. After reading every thing again and trawling for a few more hours I think I will go with.......... GA-870a-UD3 and get an MST-88 for the mosfets and a better northbridge cooler, should manage all that for under £100 leaving a little money...

I guess the equation is something like bang/buck-(rma hassle)! Also the bits I will have left are currently worth something, but in a year they won't!

Also when 9 series comes out the 8 series will drop 33% in price.......:(

On those grounds maybe I should be happy with my k9a2 (790x sb600) and just wait!! Having said that I already 'waited' till after crimbo! Will am3+ support triple ddr3 or will my double ripjaws be ok?

No pmw heatsink... I think I should go full 890fx sb850 for future proofing and stick with my 5000+ BE for now, 3.2ghz isn't too bad! I already have 2x2gb ripjaws and a 60gb vortexII ssd on their way!

hmmmmm.......... I was hoping to go 8 series on the chipset. I'm thinking!!!

Also my usb performance (sb600) is pitiful so fast usb and plenty of them needed, webcam, skype phone, 2x gamepads, external hd, printer, scanner, etc....
