(I had people trying to convince me the same thing—that my gear wouldn't hold temperature—when in reality, it was an absolute steal)

Ah, okay, I see it now. Looking at the order confirmation she emailed me, it looks like that item was left out. I have no idea where the mix-up happened, but we'll get it sorted out... Honestly, I'm relieved, she seems like a really lovely person.

Edit: You guys are all pretty great too, thanks for the help 😁.

Adam Moore3 said:Memory isn't really your concern here; you always just grab the cheapest option and call it a day, unless you're pairing this with an APU, but that’s a whole different conversation... You don't need to jump to a more expensive version 🙂

Ah, okay. Seeing those Hz numbers makes me think they matter, but honestly, I haven't the slightest clue how it all works...😁

I have one more thing to ask. I'm placing an order for a custom build at Best Buy this morning, and the clerk mentioned the cooling might be too weak for this processor since it's a 6-core. Is she just trying to upsell me on something, or is there actually something to it?

So, this is the one, right?

And regarding the memory...

Is this actually better than what Adam Moore3 was suggesting?

Oh, right, I'm just paying it off in installments—it’s pretty much the same deal as what we discussed earlier, if I recall correctly...

I’m just looking for a decent gaming case, budget capped at $1667, ideally something I can pick up at Best Buy in San Francisco.

I noticed a thread further down where someone was hunting for basically the exact same setup, though it looks like the graphics card and motherboard options they listed aren't even available at Best Buy anymore... so I guess I'll have to find some alternatives for those.

Thanks a lot.
