To be, or Not to be...

Hey everyone,
i want YOUR opinion.

i am building a new computer and am wondering if i should buy an aftermarket cpu cooler.
I am buying a Phenom II 550BE. I don't have any plans on overclocking right away, although i may sometime in the future when i feel my computer needs a bit more of a bump.

so this is the cooler i was looking at Cooler master TX3 $29 and i was also going to buy some Shin-Etsu X23-7783D $9. (shipping costing $13)

So is it to be, or not to be?
Please Vote in the Poll!!
cheers!

I say go for it,It will keep her cooler and you will be set for overclocking when you want too

Go for it on the cooler but no on the paste.


If Bomber has anymore for sale then it would be worth it but for that price AS5 will do for less then half the price. You will only see MAYBE 1-2c difference between AS5 and Etsu.

where i live AS5 and the shine-etsu go for the same price.

i have decided that i will buy the cooler and thermal paste when the cpu is getting slow and i need a boost (and possibly four cores )

thanks for the input
