As soon as I get my new system i need help on overclocking as I never went into the field before, where do I start, I have a good mobo for overclocking and it has like everything in the bios for overclocking ram and cpu... it has more options for overclocking ram than cpu in fact..

my sys stats are

First of all you should decide if you will unlock your CPU or not. If you don't, then the only way to oc it is by increasing the FSB, that would also increase the frequency of your PCI, AGP and memory. Set your RAM timings to the lowest to start, CAS 2, 4 bank interleave... etc. To oc your videocard you should download an utility to do so, like NVmax, GTU or something, go increasing slowly, don't take big jumps in mhz.
You have a very good system there, the only weak spot i see in it is your SoundBlaster Live, these sound cards usually can't handle high PCI freqs. Mine would start hanging my system when I go over 142FSB which makes 35.5mhz PCI. After removing it I could get my 1700+ to hit 156FSB (running right now at this speed). Maybe you have a better luck and your SB Live doesn't give you that sort of problems. You can try setting different dividers too (I think your board has that option, right?).
Good luck then, and remember, go increasing slowly, test for stability and then go higher...
