<p>Let's squash a few things first, I have a limited undertanding of how to build a PC. The primary thing that really scares me is if I apply too little or too much of the heat transfer goo stuff that goes between your CPU and the fan. I heard that can fry your CPU, which would be a waste of $150. The other thing that worries me is no knowing how many fans to use, or the size of them or their placement. Also, if I buy the wrong case, I might not be able to get everything in it haha.</p><p>So I'm going to buy a pre built pc, I know, and I'm sorry.</p><p>Here are the specs for the PC I want to buy with a budget of $800</p><p>Intel Core i5 750 or the i5 650 (650 has faster clock speed)</p><p><span>Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit</span></p><p>4GB <span>Dual-Channel 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM</span></p><p>ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB DDR3</p><p>500 GB HD</p><p>16x CD/DVD/RW</p><p>450W PSU</p><p>Integrated Ethernet, sound, tons of USB ports</p><p>EDIT: I asked customer support and they said it's the Intel H57 chipset</p><p>So my questions are,</p><p>i5 650 or i5 750?</p><p>Is the Intel H57 Chipset going to be a problem performance wise?</p><p>Any other components that might get me more bang for the buck?</p><p>Any and all feedback is welcome <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p>
