"THOUGHT S'IL TU PLAIS BONJOUR MERCI"

Ok
Thoughts on;

AMD 3500+ (or perhaps 3700+, depends. Is it worth the extra money?)
ASrock mobo with support for both AGP and PCI-E
6800GT
1GB of 3200 RAM

I'll get good frame rates on the highest settings with this, right?
And it will last me a good while, right?

mate, I said 'air-cooling', ie. heatsink and fan, ie. what's on 99% of PCs. I'm not telling people to buy phase change coolers here. Plus, an un-overclocked PC is a neglected PC.

Je suis pantalon!

considering an FX-55 is over £500 I'm guessing no. The stock (supplied) cooler is perfectly sufficient until you want to start really pushing it.

Well to be honest, you criticised Smedlos's ability even though he in fact corrected a mistake you made, mr 'highest possible score'..?

So, um, how does that work?

ANYWAY, cooling seems like a lot of hefty work to me, and also kind of anti-friendly to the PC - I mean, overclocking is gut ja ja, but surely it's not good for the PC in the long run, or am I just being n00bish?

I've got an upper first degree in Pure French.

I don't like this cooling malarky.
Would I not end up spening almost as much on cooling?
