:clock: Alright it's been a while, a long while since I felt the need to radical upgrade. My current rig is an Abit Kt7 raid an Athlon xp 2400+ O/C 2200 20 x 110 ( not a KT7a so I can't do 133) 512 corsair 2 Maxtor 20 gig 7200 2meg cache raid 0. Ati 9600 dvdr4 & 48cdrw . It's the longest motherboard I've ever owned. I'm looking at these

Antec SL450 450W Power Supply, Abit IC7-G, P4 2.8C, WD 36.7 Raptor and 1 gig Corsair XMS 3200. Keeping the ATI for now, Case dvdr4 & 48cdrw, and case.

SOooo in Anand forum's brain, Yea or Nay, Suggestions, comments, rants or raves.
I'll O/C to what I can, Memory I believe is fine, one Raptor should equal or surpass raided Maxtor's. Thanks :}

You aren't going to be able to overclock a 2.8C very far at all with an Antec psu, especially an SL450. Why wouldn't you spend a few more dollars, and get the best P4-overclocking psu made: Enermax 460 watt psu? When you're spending that much money, what's $20 difference, when it'll mean at least 300-400 mhz difference in your overclock? The rest of the system looks fine to me. Good luck.
