Hey guys,
I'm building my second rig and since it's been more than 3 years since I built my last one, I'm getting caught up on all the new developments on this forum.
Here's my setup. I just pulled the trigger earlier today, so hopefully you guys won't find too much problems with it. By the way, I've never overclocked, but I'm somewhat curious to try it out.
ASUS P5N-E SLI
XFX GeForce 7900GT 256MB
Antec Performance One P180B
Antec True Power Trio TP3-650 ATX12V 650W Power Supply
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe 2.13GHz Processor
Kingston HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
I have three questions.
1. How overclockable is this setup?
2. I'm planning on using my old 80GB hard drive on this new machine. Just to make sure I'm not screwing myself, I should un-install all the drivers on the old HD before I plug it into my new machine, right? Or do I only need to un-install the video driver?
3. Once Vista comes out, I plan on installing that on a new hard drive. Since I'll mainly use my rig for games, I'm thinking of getting two HD's and set them up with RAID 0 (better performance). Is this a good idea? recommendations on HD's?
