Now, I will purchasing solely from Newegg.com so is it best to go retail or OEM. I know that If you buy an OEM processor it does not come with a heatsink so which items would be best for OEM/Retail?
The only thing I'd buy retail is the videocard and maybe the processor. If you want a silent CPU, I'd stick with the AMD or Intel fan that came with it, but those only come with retail CPUs. If you're gonna overclock, then you'll need a better CPU fan. If you simply want a better fan from the start, I'd get an OEM processor and the Thermaltake Silent Boost if you go AMD, and an SLK-900U + silent fan for Intel.
