bullshit my AMD Phenom II x4 has been running just fine for 5 years



unless you're trying to build a server. unless you're trying to build a specialized office machine which is a pain in the balls to configure. Unless you're trying to build anything that isn't a gaming pc or a home desktop, pretty much. You don't have any sort of experience other than your dinky little home setup so stop pretending that what works for you is applicable in every scenario. Shut the fuck up.
