CPU cooling system

[joe1111]

I just ordered the below. Quick question: Does it make sense to add a better CPU cooling system if I use this PC as a heavy number cruncher over extended periods of time?

Do I need to specify on which HD the OS needs to be installed? Do I need to specify what Graphic Cards I will put in?

Many thanks

If your not overclocking and ur on a medicore budget just go for the super quiet cooler (£19). Best use for what ur doing.

1. The OS will be installed on the 1st hard drive.

2. You don't need to tell us what graphics card you plan to install, unless you want some re-assurance that it will work with the specification you have selected.

Nice spec you've ordered.
