how is this?

[sandmannight]

This is the computer I was going to build
opteron 165
2gb Corsair XMS RAM
7900gt 256MB
DFI Lanpart ultra
I have a few questions

I have an old monitor with max rez of 1600x1200 wondering if everything will look good on this monitor?
I was also wondering if it would be easy for me to OC to 2.4 with stock heatsink and fan?
How good of a system is this?
Thanks for the help

How good? It could be great if the price was right

Depends how good the monitor is. Whats the dot pitch and best refresh? And how bright is it (is it faiding)? Are there scratches? I guarantee if you placed a mid-level LCD right next to it you would choose the new LCD.

No clue about OCing, just that if you are serious about it you should invest in a quality HS/F to get the best out of your CPU

with the opty 2.4 on stock is easy... i have my 3800+ X@ at 2.4 on stock... i could easily push it further if i had better cooling
