    Thanks for this info!! It is good to know the 77550+ Black Edition comes with a heatsink as some earlier Black Editions did not. This makes it even better value for money as it is faster than an E5200 in many things(when both are compared at stock speeds) and is the same price!!

    Dreaming, what spec did you go for in the end? A mate of mine was looking to build a system for about that price. Would be ideal for him also.

    Cheers.
