Hi everyone, i am just getting a list together of the new P.C. i am going to build. I currently have a self built system which i built around 2 years ago (i couldn't how easy it was) but the AMD Sempron (64) 3300+ and AGP nvidia 6600 256MB, 2GB v-data pc3200 memory are getting a little bit tired with the latest games. I do mostly use my P.C. for gaming but i also use it for video encoding and also office work. at the moment i can't really encode and play games as this slows down both. I think it's time i entered the wonderful world of conreo. this is the spec of the P.C. i am thinking of building.

I am thinking of overclocking to E6600 speeds, do you think that i need pc6400 Ram or will i only need pc5300. Will the retail heatsink that comes with the CPU be good enough for the amount of overclocking. is the power supply good/powerful enough. Please advise me as bulding this P.C. is not as simple as the last one i built. THX
