1866 CL9 > 1600 CL9

And you don't need a sound card unless you're using high-end audio equipment.

ty, and last but not least, what about a cpu cooler/case fan?

ohaidare. you quit lld?

the cpu comes with a cpu cooler. if you want to do some slight overclocking, get a cooler master 212 Plus or Evo. the case comes with fans. you wont need more unless youre overclocking

i still dabble, but i really enjoy me some sc2.

Plus i'd like to stream it for some people if i can convince anyone to watch, and i might even stream d2 for you and others (i think it was you that asked one time)

yeah mang. ill watch

Just a follow up question.... When I stream Starcraft 2, how close am I to using the 8 cores worth of power? (I know sc2 uses 2 cores, but no idea about streaming)

If the 8 cores will provide a smoother (or more stable, whatever you want to say) stream then i have no problem going for it, but would it be just as high quality with 4 or 6 core instead of 8?

when i said 800 for a budget, it was a maximum, i don't NEED to spend that much Ty in an advance~

8350 has the upper hand while streaming vs the 3570k

total : 770$ - 10$ mir

dolar's build has faster ram ( 1333 cl7 > 1866 cl9 ) and a better power supply.
dolar's build has a less powerfull graphics card but it won't matter since it will still max sc2.

How is 1866 9 slower than 1333 7?

oops , dolar re-checked his math and found out he was wrong
