A good buy?

[Azonic-Mantra]

Hi guys

First post as i think i may look at overclocking my latest purchase. It will be my first attempt and i was wondering if i could get an opinion on this system. I got it for £175 from ebay, was it a good deal or could i have built this myself cheaper?

Spec:

> AMD Athlon64 3700+ San Diego Core
> Nvidia 7600GT with Zalman Cooler and RAM Sinks
> 1GB (2x512 Dual Channel) Geil RAM
> Maxtor 200GB Sata2 Hard Drive
> Asus DVD RW
> Gigabyte Motherboard


Any advice on what to upgrade would be greatly appreciated

Hi and thanks for responding so quickly. The system is on its way so i havent had a chance to run it yet. I had a feeling it was cheap for £175, but thanks for confirming this.

I have to admit i'm a semi noob, i have never overclocked and im still trying to get my head around all these different socket types etc.

I have a few pictures of the system that i was going to attached but couldnt for some reason. It appears from the picture that the motherboard may be able to support SLI so i was thinking maybe adding another 7600gt. How much would this cost?

My current card is a geforce 5600 so i guess i'm going to notice a big difference already? but would an additional 7600gt give me an even bigger change?

If you could direct me on how to show attached pictures it would be great if you could tell me some more about the parts (the ebay seller was a bit quiet on this)

Many thanks

Thanks for all your help, i'll take your advice and run it first, see how it performs and then look at upgrades.
