Gents, I hope I can take up a moment of your time for a bit of advice/help.
I have an Intel Core2 Extreme X6800 cpu build on a Gigabyte EP45- UD3LR board.
I notice while playing the latest titles i.e. BF3, I occasionally suffer from slowing down and stuttering during game play.

I have 2 questions;

1. Am I best replacing my system with something like http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-063-OE or overclock my current setup?

2. If the answer is to overclock, could someone give me some help or point me in the right direction as looking through the forums and guides I am well confused and do not wish to blow my system :o
 
Hi James, as per my signature a Corsair HX620W modular PSU. Thanks for the basket info. Surely though the 4.6 ghz clocked package is a better option, or is it simple enough for a numpty like me to overclock it myself?
 
As for Resolution I leave it at stock, just improve the details, AA.

Thanks for the info Rroff, I feel overclocking is the way if I only know and trust what I am doing!
 
Rroff, had a look at your info and over the weekend tried to implement it to no avail. If up the multiplyer from 11x to 12x with the standard fsb setting which is 266, I should I think have an overclock of 3.192 yes?

As soon as I load OCCT to test it, it immediately shows an over clock of 1.597 a decrease by 45.5%! I am completely baffled now and have no clue on what to do, any ideas?
