Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI Pro, nForce4 SLI Intel Ed
Intel Pentium D 805 Dual Core
2x 1GB PC5400 DDR2, CL5
Club3D 7900GT 256Mb
2x Maxtor DiamondMax 10 250Gb 16Mb NCQ SATAII
Tagan TG480-U15 480W Modular
Antec Performance One P180 Silver
Logitech G5 Laser Mouse
Logitech UltraX Flat Media Keyboard
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
NEC ND-4550 16x (Dual-layer Black)
I already have a monitor.

I want to overclock the pentium D to 3.32Ghz (20x166) and me was wondering if the motherboard and cooler are good enough to handle that?

This comes down to 1085, i have 1100 as budget and if the performance is really worth it i can put some of me own money in to make it tad more expensive.

Thanks for input

u could get a radeon x1900 xt.U can get more fps and higher iq settings but the cheapest ones cost around $430.
And while u are at it,why dont ya get a logitech g15 gaming keyboard instead of what u have now.For bragging rights and the programmable g-keys.Costs around $70.

The 7900GT costs 265. X1900XT isn't worth it. I play the occasional game and the 7900GT will cut it.
G15 keyboard is not a necessity.

okay then spend a couple more bucks and get a motherboard which supports core 2 duo.
I'm talkin about the 975x chipsets.
Well the intel made motherboards which support conroe are revison 304 and foxconn's is rev AB.
And the 975x mobo will be a great help in ur ocing efforts.U'll be able to go as high as 4ghz too.
