I think I remember people saying that the mouse is a battery gulper.You might look into a mouse that can sit in a re-chargeable stand?Also, samsung hard drives run hotter than other hard drives in my experience. That may not be an issue for you. I have had lower temps with the generic seagate or maxtor brands. Also, if it were me I would get two smaller hard drives rather than one big one, and make fairly regular image and data backups of the hard drive with the OS onto the 2nd drive. That way should the first fail you can restore it from the second with ease and should the second fail you will have a copy of the data on the first.I am using the X2 4600 cpu myself, and it handles most anything I throw at it (the most intensive being photoshop stuff). Why not get a 5000 though? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />If you do intensive gaming you might look into a better cooling solution inside the case, like liquid cooling. At the very least spend a few extra bucks for a really good cpu cooler. Another help might be getting a bigger tower to allow for more air flow. Especially if the gpu card sits near the mobo or the cpu. If you are willing to sink some extra money into it, Lian-Li makes amazing cases (and a few silly ones - ignore the snail shell shaped ones).Anyway, just my initial thoughts.</blockquote>
