I have a BFG 6800 GT sitting in my room, and my friend gave me a case with a 430w Antec. He didn't give me any screws though >_<. I've never overclocked before but I'll try to get the CPU faster so the video card won't be bottlenecked too badly. Do you think the RAM will be good enough for that? And also, will the heatsink and cooler that came with the CPU be good enough if I wanted to overclock it to 3400 or 3500 speeds?

Probably wanna get Corsair Value Select instead. You save 35 bucks too.

EDIT: Corsair Value Select OC's fine, but if you want extreme enthusiast OCing you could really splurge here and get Corsair XMS or Crucial Ballistix or OCZ EL Plat Rev2.
