It's been a while since I've OC'ed a system. My last effort was the 1.8A @ 2.4. I honestly haven't kept up with the technology since then so any help would be greatly appreciated. My plans include the following:

Intel 2.4C @ 3.2 or higher (Stock Cooling is mandatory)
Abit IC7 or IC7-MAX3
1GB (512x2) ________ Brand RAM (Best Brand)
120GB x 2 _________ Brand Serial ATA Hard Drives for RAID 0 (Best Brand)
8x DVD+-RW
16x DVD-ROM
128MB __________ Brand Video Card (prefer GeForce and nothing super great here. I still pwn in CS with a GeForce 2 Pro ^_^)
____________ Brand Sound Card (nothing super great here either)
Logitech Z680 Speakers


If you could, please fill in the blanks with detailed answers. Thanks so much for your help!
