How to Build a Kick-ass $800 Gaming PC

 In my experience, stock heatsinks are terrible. I recently installed the very same one youhave here and was getting temps of around 65-70 C when idling. I replaced it with an aftermaket, $18 heatsink and used some Arctic Silver paste, $6 and it now idles at 30. Very sweet system otherwise!
