Overclocking:yea? (makes the comp run faster right?, if its really necessary)

Hi I'd recommend the following setup:

Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Black Dragon DDR2
Asus P5QL Pro Intel P43
Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4830 512MB GDDR3
Samsung SpinPoint F1 500GB SATA-II
Samsung SH-S223F/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter
Antec Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case
Enermax Pro 82+ 525W EPR525AWT ATX2.3 Silent PSU
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-Bit

Total inc VAT+delivery: £535.64

Operating System: hmm well i dont think getting 64 bit is such a gd idea, i like 32 bit for the time being , as computability is an issue with this stuff. Your experiences?

64bit is faster, detects more RAM (albeit not relevant as only using 2Gb here) and has no compatability issues. Also its the same price as the 32 bit version, so get it :)
