Did I do well with my choices, and how far can i push this..

Alright, after reading some things here I decided that I would design my system to overclock it since the core duo's appear to be such great overclockers. Anyhow, i was on a semi budget so here is what I ended up going with this based on a lot of peoples opinons and my own:


Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
ABIT AB9 Pro Mobo
2X Patriot Extreme Performance 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 800 Cas4 :::: 4-4-4-12
Thermaltake Big Typhoon
BFG Tech BFGR76256GTOCE GeForce 7600GT
RAIDMAX RX-450YX120 ATX12V 450W Power Supply
Western Digital Caviar RE WD2500YS 250GB


So exactly how far should I comfortably push this sucker to? Like I said I'm new to overclocking. I've already purchased these components and everything, they should be here soon. Just curious on everyones opinons.

*Edit: I read that you said "rwaritsdario: The AB9 series "stick" at 400Mhz, get the Gigabyte DS3 or S3 (P965) instead. " is this entirely true? should i send my mobo back, take the restock fee and get a new one?

Put that raidmax psu in the trash and get a real one.

this one seems to come up a lot http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817104954
but also look at the psu guides on the forum http://forumz.tomshardware.com/har [...] 98276.html
