Another Conroe...

Hi all, can anyone see any potential problems with this spec? Also, can anyone recommend a PSU, I think it needs about a 450W one... I want to overclock it as much as I can really, think I could hit 3Ghz with that?

If you are going to spend that much on a 7600gt I'd highly recommend spending the extra few pounds and going for the X1800XT which simply blows the 7600gt out of the water.

PSU wise I'd be taking a look at Enermax, FSP, Tagan and maybe OCZ which is likely to be the cheapest option.

You could certainly hit 3ghz in theory, how close you get in practice depends on your chip mainly.

A classic spec, except I'd swap the Nvidia for a Connect 3D X1800XT and the HDD for a 7200.10 250Gb with 16Mb cache.

Edit: Pah too slow
