    looks like a good set up to me, it should easily do you another 2-3 years
    if you are bored and want to maybe overclock then buy some good air or water coolers

    funny enough the temps in the m40 are amazingly low. dont think ive seen gpu go above 70 and cpu above 50.

    not to interested in overclocking further. its at 3.4 and it does the job. i got it up to 3.8 and it ran stable for a week.

    If you have to, maybe a CPU upgrade to an i5 quad eventually, but until you find an app/game that chokes on the dualie you're grand :)
