Hi, I am building a new system and this will be my first time at overclocking. I do no gaming. I do a lot of multi-tasking like encoding, listening to music, surfing, and just starting to play around with Photoshop. I also like to watch movies on my 22" Acer widescreen and Klipsch 4.1 speakers. I have narrowed my build down to the following with some help from people in the hardware forum. Now that I would like to OC, I am wondering if I will be able to get around 3.0Ghz or more with this system? Remember, this is my first time at this and I'm not sure if OCing depends on what video card you have. I saw a how-to article around here some time ago on OCing but I am no longer able to locate it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I want to stay around this price range if not even lower.
Gigabyte 965P-DS3
C2D E6400
Corsair XMS2 2GB PC2 6400 - (this just went up $70 last night)
Gigabyte Radeon X1650PRO
AC Freezer 7 Pro
SeaSonic M12 SS-500HM I like the modular cabling.
I would like to get at least 3.0Ghz out of this so plesae give me your suggestions and/or opinions. Also, if you know the link to the OCing guide I would appreciate that. I'm looking at putting in my Newegg order today.
Thanks,
CEV
