Yeah, you have the CPU and cooler for it, so I'd call and add stage 1 overclocking. An inexpensive bump in performance.

Looks real good and congrats.

I think that means your in the Bargaining stage based on what psychologists call the "8 Stages of (Grief) DS".

Stage 8 is where Acceptance truly occurs

The excitement is interesting. Its like being 8 years old on Christmas Eve.
