Do you think I can overclock this system?

[slinky22]

I'm about to put together this sytem:

Athlon 64 3500+ 90nm cpu (stock cooling)
MSI K8N Neo2 motherboard
Corsair Value Select RAM 2x512MB PC3200
BFG 6800 GT OC vid card
OCZ Powerstream 520w

Do you think I'll be able to overclock this a little? I'm sure my biggest bottleneck will be the 2.5 cas RAM and stock cooling, but shouldn't I be able to get it into the 3800+ range? My case is going to have 5 80mm fans so it should be fairly cool.

With that same cpu Anandtech hit 2.6 ghz on stock voltages. And the 2.5 CL ram will not hold you back just set up a divider and your set.

Second that. The RAM is solid but won't have much headroom, if any.

use a divider to overclock with that ram ( i do too), no performance loss because of virtually on dual channel a64

Yea man, most likely it will if it does but won't if it can't.
