Alrighty, I got all my computer parts in yesterday which include a Pehnom II 955 processor with the stock cooling. But I have a 6000+ AM2 socket CPU that I bought OEM with an Artic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro. Could I take that off my old PC and replace it with the stock cooler from my Phenom? Would that keep it cooler than the stock cooling?
Should work. Many owners have used that cooler even with the newer AMD chips. Should work better than the stock one too.
Hey guys
I'm building my dad a new computer, since his old one has finally bit the dust (still had a single core processor)
This is what I have so far:

I'm not really sure where to go with the mobo. Doesn't need to be anything fancy with SLI or crossfire or anything. I would think that on-board graphics would be enough. He doesn't really play any graphically intense games. (The most he plays is online poker and puzzle games like Bejeweled)
edit: I already have a DVD burner to use, so no need to buy a new one.
How does this build look? I'm trying to keep it as cheap as possible, but still get good performance.
Build looks fine so far. Either of these boards will do:
