| looking at the board I run, its a 125w TDP so I am not going to bother with the same CPU. I did however go with AMD's top 125w, the 8370. Benchmarks show performance differences that wont really be seen or felt based on the numbers. hard to beat 225 bones. with that cause the price was 74.99, Avexir... |

Just have to check to ensure the current board I have has a 220w TDP  |

| I dont think top vents are an issue. Heat rises, easy for a fan to expel it. If you are worried about dirt, move your case. Any dirt that you would think would get in there would be so tiny it wouldnt do anything - and one should be cleaning regularly with compressed air anyways. I like the case and... |
