Hey guys new to the forum, and posted up a budget build the other day, went over budget but this is the result after a very brilliant effort and help from a lot of guys and one poster in particular 
Just thought i'd post a final spec to see if any of you have any advice on anything at all?
Questions I have are:
How overclockable is the motherboard/processor? Not planning to go stupid, but 4ghz would be nice.
The guys told me 500w should be fine, but just a query, is it at the peak so to say? If that makes any sense...
Finally, the GPU is a "black edition" which the guys said basically means it has been overclocked a little (if i remember correctly) however i found a better deal but it doesnt state black edition, and I just wanted to check if the performance would be exactly the same or the black edition would be faster?

Overclockers has been a great help so far, one poster in particular seems very dedicated!
