I liked the first one better, AsRock board and all... If he doesn't want to water cool a good Noctua will do the trick by the way, 3,8ghz 1700 already will give you every thing you need, 3.9 or 4 is just bonus really.

I'm not sure that the ICX card works with the A240G.  Also, watercooling isn't hard, just started and its awesome

The icx doesn't? Anyways thanks I will tell @Conductor
