Alright, so my scripts have been running real slow for some reason. So I think it might be my computer - mind you this is a script-related thread. I obviously need derivative assistance with understand the complexity of my errors here.
So, I am investing in new merchandise to help the processing of my scripts and their slightly arbitrary response time. Now, does this system sound like it could process these nasty script lag hiccups in a more smooth manner?

That is literally almost identical to my build! :O
That'd handle it perfectly. The graphics card is better than mine and mine can handle TF2 on 1080p with nearly full settings.
No real point for liquid cooling though unless your case is badly ventilated, or your fan is crap. Just get two fans, unless I'm not mistaken, liquid cooling requires occasional maintenance, and while that's not common, it's irritating and when you can just get a fan and never worry again, I don't see the point.
Your build shouldn't overheat much with a fan or two anyway, again providing the case is ventilated. |

A very old Windows XP laptop that I had bought for 500$ at Best Buy.
Don't go there. |

| We used to have an old XP tower here, but then my father got tired of it and threw it out into the yard. We really should have scavenged the RAM. D: |

"RAM. D:"
That's what I should have done when I tossed out 3 old XP company laptops. |

| One should never toss out laptops, instead they should be transformed into thin-clients. :3 |

Which is probably why I just got promoted to Senior Program Technician Manager.
...If I worked somewhere that had that position. |

"Technician Manager"
Ah, so you only manage the technicians, and therefore you aren't one. x3 |

| Why settle for an FX-4100 when you can have an FX-8120? :D |

I would suggest making it necessary to have 2 fans, or 1 powerful one.
Because 1 usually isn't enough, I need to use a cooling pad because 1 fan is messed up on my laptop and makes it overheat and shut down. |

| I have honestly never had cooling problems. And it isn't a laptop - which heat up to amazing temperatures. |

| Then 1 should be fine, unless you want a backup. |

| @candy, I talked to a computing genius I know and I said the same liquid nitrogen think, apparently, it is not as good as water because it doesn't absorb as much heat seeing as it is already really cold. |

@HatHelper
The 4100 actually has a higher predicted FPS than the 8120. |
