Should probably run pcmark05 later...

And the link to the validation

Nice choices :)

E5200 is a superior CPU for overclocking (even when not overclocking, is an excellent price to value CPU). "My $70 CPU > Your $250 CPU"



My current sustem is more or less a budget build. Cost me about $477AUD (=~ 242€), bought about 3 months ago. Add another $150 or so if I bother getting a GPU (I hardly ever play games, mainly an encode box, I don't need a good GPU).
