My questions are

2. Does anybody know what thermal paste is used with these builds? I swear by Artic-mx3 and would like to be assured they dont use some cheap product like most other manufacturers and repairers (wont mention any names).
3. Do you get any disks with the drivers on as most pc dont have these or are they easy to obtain?

Thanks in advance
Chris

Really cant say about fps, best just to read lots fo reviews on the card and cpu and based on that make a decision

As for thermal paste, if its a standard clocked system they will use whatever is on the cooler, however on an overclocked system they use better thermal paste. To be quite honest, if your not overclocking the standard paste is absolutley fine. You may however be able to send them some paste if you want a specific one being used.

Yes you egt all the driver discs
