  VMware lab, world domination, no more lag when I photoshop 40 images at once, browse 50000 tabs on chrome, probably some gaming if I ever have the time.

  It's only heatsinks and air. The CPU sink+blue LED fan is from intel, it comes with the 990x. I had a better looking cooler but I would have had to remove the first slot of RAM and that wasn't an option for me.

  That explains enough. My computer cried when I tried using one virtual machine D8 Didn't get far past installing the OS before I got too bored.

  This PC is an upgrade from an amd single core from late 2006 or so, I feel your pain.

  God damn, I have 30 ~ 40 tabs open in chrome and it takes a while just to load all the pages (Not to mention I have to close it if I want to play a game or else there's gonna be lag). You make me want to save up for upgrades for my computer since I don't have anything in particular that I'm interested in buying at the moment :/
