Thanks.... I did not go for it, as I am not into serious gaming stuff.....

Also, btw, what is meant my "benchmarks"? might sound a dumb question....

Benchmarking is well, some tests run to measure the performance of your Hardware. you get a score and that score can be compared with various other scores of people with different Hardware. Gives a general idea of the type of performance you get.

Super Pi.
It calculates the value of Pi to definite numbler of decimal places and displays the time taken by CPU to calculate upto that level.

Nice build buddy !!!!
You have got an awesome processor and that when coupled with a DDR5 graphic card would have been even more powerful :cry: . Any way 2GB GT520 isn't bad either :cool:

Must be iball PSU that comes with the cabinet.
Plus his rig will do just fine with it as long as he sticks to that GPU.

It looks real mess...... I have a space constraint and have squeezed in everything....
