    Just a few questions:

    Any caveats to be aware of in the build process?

    How quiet is the stock CPU fan?

    Do you need a specific power supply or would any 24 pin power supply work?

    Any recommended mobo?

    Can I install RAM in pairs, or does it need 3 sticks

    thx in advance. I'm building this for a friend and I don't want to mess it up.

    You may wanna check out overclock.net forum. They have good information on I5/I7 builds.

    Just my 2 cents!

    Just built the machine. Straightforward build. Used a regular 550 watt 24 pin PS, RAM in pairs, stock fan was fine, idles at around 40 deg C. Peppy performance. Used a GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD2 LGA 1156 Intel chipset P55 Micro ATX mobo and i5-750 proc.
