Thinking of cooling that reminds me... one piece of advice I was given was to remove the tacky cooling pads from the motherboards heatsinks and replace it with something like Artic Silver Ceramique. Also when looking at processors, don't necessarily stick to the stock heatsink, they're usually terrible. Get a decent one (Thermalright produce the best at the moment (last time I checked) for air cooling. Oh and use some Zalman STG1 (I find it's better than Arctic Silver's stuff), dead easy to apply and works great, on your cooler. If you get good cooling then your computer shouldn't glitch and also it'll last longer. Esp important if your house tends to be hot.
