Think I'm gonna bite the bullet on a fairly major overhaul and start the purchasing today. Here's what I'm thinking, and I'm open to suggestions. I'm looking for a moderate overclock on the e6400 (if that's what I go for) to somewhere around 3.2.
Processor
Core2Duo e6400
Motherboard
Asus p5b-e
- basically I'm amenable to the $100 - $170 range on mobos
HSF
- already purchased Tuniq Tower 120
Ram
- not sure here, $200 - $280 budget, looking for 2gb of ddr2-800
- currently looking at:

or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145590
Gfx card
- probably an Asus x1950 pro
- would like to keep budget under $250
power supply
- no clue, not doing SLI, currently have a 350 Antec that came with my Sonata II case
- Not in the mood to spend more than $70 here
hard drive
- Already purchased Seagate 7200.10 Sata II 16mb 400gb
Sound card and DVD drive
- recycled from old rig
Please let me know your suggestions. Thanks.
