If you want a realtime FPS count, use FRAPS or a similar program. If you want a benchmark for comparison purposes, download 3dmark11.
All put together, typing from it right now. I essentially copied your setup aside from the video card. I'll get some pics up tomorrow. BTW, do you know how to benchmark games? Just got Crysis 2 and I'm curious how many FPS I'm running it at.
Will do. Splurged for overnight, so it should be here tomorrow. I did get an aftermarket cooler. A Corsair.
I recommend an aftermarket, check out the deals on newegg for one. I bought one but haven't had time to apply it yet. Congrats on the new PC! Post pics when you get it together.
About to place an order for a PC. Going with the i5 2500K and a 570 GTX card. I wanted to ask if you're running an after marker cooler in your system or just going with the stock Intel fan. I don't plan on doing any overclocking, but I remember you saying Intel's stock coolers are trash, so I'm debating whether or not to get a fan.
