1. What YOUR PC will be used for.

5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts.
No current parts per se, but using a copy of winxp i already own.

Yes.

Overclock for the win!
SO, here we go...
Intel Dual-Core E2180 - $92.99
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L - $109.99
CORSAIR ValueSelect 2 x 1GB PC2 5300 $54.99
SAPPHIRE Radeon X1950PRO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 - $149.99
Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600AAJS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA - $49.99
XCLIO GOODPOWER 500W ATX 500W - $49.99
COOLER MASTER Centurion 534 RC-534-KKN2-GP - $49.99 -10 MIB=$39.99
and some LG cd/dvd burner $28.99
shipping = $18.84
Grand total! 605.76 (after MIB comes in it will be 595.76)
Posting this more than anything because I am buying in a week or 2 and just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything obvious.
I picked this cheapo ram because the e2180 has a multiplier of 10 so I figured it will hit its max overclock without ramping up the FSB too much.
Thanks in advance.
