    Hey HF. First post here and I'm in a dilemma and I know don't which to pick. My motherboard has failed on me and I am about to buy new parts. The thing is I am also getting a GTX 260 core 216 and the processor I currently have is an Athlon 64 X2 4600+ which I would be using on my new motherboard. I realize that with this setup that my CPU will be a bottleneck and wont get the best performance in games; namely crysis. But I only have 1 HDD atm and want a slave drive plus another two gigs of RAM so I have a total of 4. Which should I go with?

    Plus the motherboard and crysis don't really need to link those.

    I'd also like to add that I wont be able to buy a Fan + Heatsink if I get the CPU due to lack of funds. But for my 4600+ I have a thermaltake 120mm big typhoon. Will that work on the Phenom X4?
