What can I expect??

[dkvamme]

Looking to try out an Intel 805d overclocking build but like most I dont have a lot of cash laying around to do this with.

What kind of oc performance (if any) can I expect?

Im going to reuse some other parts I currently have.
LianLi case, harddrives, lightspeed dvd-r,

Looking to spend a little bit more on the mb for future upgrade if possible .

This is what Im considering so far. Plus will add a 7600gs or gt pci-express vid card. I am scraping together what cash I can for this build and these parts exhaust my current savings. so ...
And I cant sell my old trusty 2500 Barton, Shuttle mb until I have a replacement in my hands/running.

I realize the power supply isnt the greatest,but Ive had very good luck with them in the past.

6-8 weeks 805 will be $95 if you can wait.

Just don't use the Thermaltake PSU, Thermaltake PSU's have weak 12v rails, which is what is the most relied on by modern machinces, especialy with a power hungry dual core. With a limited budget, you can't do better than Fortron. They are inexpensive, but still quality PSU's.

Thats not a problem as I intend to use this at my office. ( Nice A/C controlled space )

You are going to need a 500-550 watt QUALITY psu to get a decent OC out of it. The Forton 450 for $50 won;t do it.
