    Like I said, unless I'm wrong I'm 99% sure all processors come with some thermal paste and it's usually already applied to the HSF unit.

    What? Where did you hear that?
    #1: That'd take an unnecessary amount of effort on their part,
    #2: Couldn't you bring it back to stock clocks on your own? It would take as little effort as it does to buy such a prebuilt machine anyway.

    Here and a few other places on the dell forum.

    Dell locks the BIOs anyways.

    They seem legit and they have a decent rating. I'm still not sure if I trust them.

    So it now adds up to $755, which is just barely over the budget (fuck it, I'll pay the $5). My only question left is the thermal compound. Ganon says it's necessary, Freelancer says it's only necessary for overclocking. I know for a fact that he can barely find the BIOS on his own, so overclocking wasn't even something I considered when searching for parts. Can I get any other opinions on it? +rep for anyone who can shed some light on it.
    The stock thermal paste they stick on it should be fine. The stock intel cooler I got with my mum's core i5 came with thermal paste on the bottom of the heatsink. All of the AMD processors i've bought have too. If it comes with a heatsink, it should come with thermal paste.

    e: It'd be retarded if the thermal paste that's already applied to the heatsink wasn't good enough. After market paste will be better, but that doesn't mean that the stuff that'll come with it won't work.

    They use refurbished parts. Fuck them as well.

    I hate shopping for computers.

    IDGI. They would probably get mad at me for cursing on the internet. Then they would say "buy the cheap one" and leave.

    edit-

    TBH I don't think it's possible to get a good computer for less than 1250 dollars.

    That also describes Pegasus...whose deck I used to play, albeit with some seriously overpowered and downright nasty modifications.

    Where did you read that CyberPower uses refurbished parts in their computers?
