[undeclared]

Intel C2Q Q6600 ($289.99)
Crucial Ballistix 2x1gb ddr2-1066 5-5-5-15 2.2V ($159.98)
Asus P5N-E Sli ($147.20)
8800 GTS 640mb ($443.08 - mail-in $30)
ULTRA-120 Extreme + 120mm Panaflo (~$90 together)

Total price: $1,132.00 CAD (Canadian dollars)

What I'm adding that I already have:

545W Gamer PSU (I don't remember the brand, but I do know it's good.)

80gb IDE
320gb IDE

Dual DVDRWs

My current case (may not be big enough but if it's not I'll just grab a new one)

I would like to know..

1) is my PSU sufficient for a 3ghz overclock?
2) Stick with the ram? Required? Or not really important? $40 less for approx the exact same ram, but ddr2-800.
3) Is this mobo a good overclockers board? Ability to lock the pci-express/pci frequency etc?

theres no need for that ram, the ddr2-800 will work just fine, becuase an overclock to 3ghz would be 9x333 right? correct me if im wrong about the mulitplier, so if you use a 1:1 ratio with the ram, you'll only need 667
it would be nice to know the brand of the PSU, but 545W should be decent as long as its a quality PSU

Wait, so might that mean the 1066 would get me a better OC if I happen to get G0 stepping and it's better?
