Seen hundreds of posts like these from others, and now it's my turn 
Want to build a future proofed PC which will be used mainly for internet use and programming. I frequently have lots of apps open with a large archive of Outlook mail, and my current PC (2.4Ghz P4) is struggling. Dont play many games, but I used to really be into CSS and would like a gfx card which could let me play at the highest res possible with ease. I figured an average gfx card would cost about £50 anyway (HD 2600 Pro ?) so dont mind spending an extra £80 to get something which would handle the most graphics intensive games.
Looking to overclock the Quad to 3.2Ghz (or more) but don't want to worry too much about overheating or cooling. Not overclocked a system for a long time (did a Celeron 300mhz to 450mhz years back). Also, would like the system to be pretty quiet as it'll sit in my lounge.
Any advice ?
