DS3 / E4300 help - First time overclocking

[digitizer123]

Hi . . I have been away from building my own systems for a long time but I am always maintaining my own and others pc for fun. Even though my profession is not in the Hardware line - I spend a lot of time reading up just for hobbie. Now I am planning on putting together a system and planning on OC.

Heres my list of components and where I am getting them.

Mobo http://www.savingsshopping.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1728
Ram http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=T6UX2G...1d373b23a76e3f97c8c2be2ce76a7430d7c27d
CPU http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=E4300B...e9c7d8323f8377d4e47d99fc1a402b90c42435

I have 2 Seagate SATA II 320 GB drives that I want to set up in RAID 0
For VGA - I don't need any hifi card or anything - I don't play games but I need to set up 2- 22 inch wide screen monitors . I trade stocks and I usually run over a dozen real time charts simultaneously. If you guys have any suggesting - let me know,

Please recommend a inexpensive aftermarket cooler.

I plan to OC 3+ GHz. I am totally agains wasting anything and I believe most people really use 30% of their system resourses - please keep that in mind when making recommendation. Also I keep reading bout this memory issue with DS3 - until BIOS is updated - how do you update the BIOS if the system is not even going????

If anyone has a better deal on these components post here.

Sorry for the long essay.

Thanks for your input

1st get a NB cooler like the HR-05 and any 80mm fan
Then a nice CPU cooler is the Arctic Cooling 7 Pro

RAID 0 is a bad idea.
