remember to use a dime sized drop not the whole tube...
may sound dumb, but you dont know how many times a day i pull a cpu fan off to see thermal compound down inside the CPU sockets (ruined Motherboard)

A lot of people do it differently I normally put a decent size dot in the middle and spread to the sides but I know others like to so very small lines of it across the entire thing.

I would stick with some sized dot in the middle. The heat sink will spread it for you.

By the way, it is built, and works like a dream! Can't wait to try Skyrim on it.

Build your own.

If this is your first build Newegg has a nice selection of combos that are put together for you. You will still need a few things but they are a great place to start.

Also they have how to videos.

If you want to start from scratch start with s CPU socket type and build the computer from there.
