Hello guys, I am a long time Toms Hardware forums reader, but afeter many years only reading I took the time to register and make a question to all of you who know and have more experience than me in computers parts.
First of all I must say I am Writing from Venezuela, unfortunately we dont have as much variety as you guys over there, and everything is almos twice as expensive.
I have an old system so I decided to go for a new Rigg (by the way what does that mean?)
This are the specs:
I got the Pentium D 805 since it can be overclocked a lot I know 930 are better but this is cheapest cheapest one in here, cost me 150 dollars, the closes one to this is almost 300$.
I got ASUS P5WD2 Premium (no I didnt want the premium version but is the only asus mobo I found in here, and is the only good brand that we have for sockey 775)
Also I got an MSI ATI X1900XT.
A Zalman 9500 cooler (this a friend of mine brought it from USA)
But now my biggest concern are these three things:
The PSU I found a Antec
this one:

My concer is: will that PSU be enough to overclock the Pentium D 805 and and also work with the ATI video card, and 3 SATA 2 250GB hard Drives 1 Audigy sound card one DVDRW LG and 2GB of memory?
Second One:
I got Kingston memory, 5300 667, 2 stick of 1Gb each.
I was trying to find reviews to know if kingston is good for overclock or not I dont understand much about those weird times that many of you mention, like 4-4-4-10 or something like that, and you play with that to overclock, I dont know what they mean or are for, so I dont Know if that is a good memory since i could find any place to do reviews of it.

that is the memory.
And finally I wanted a nice case, but also a case that serve me to put mi LCD monitor over it since I have no more space for towers.
So I got the Thermaltake Mozart, is an HTTP case I believe is kind of cool (only without the nice lcd screen :-( ) what I would like to know is does that case will work for my Rigg? what about Heat? it is ok or I will need more fans?
That is mostly everythin thanks a lot.
And dont tell me to wait for Conroe 2, is taking a little time over there imagine how much it will take over here and at what price (the freaking videocard is costing me 600$) so imagine the prices of everything in here, and I have 4 years saving, thanks.
