Hello!
This'll be the first time I'll be building a computer and also the first time I'll be overclocking.
I'll be running an E4300 for overclocking purposes. First off, generally, how far can I get without using memory divider? How about without messing with the voltages?
Video card-wise I'm looking for something that'll do decent for the time being however I can upgrade to a DX10 card when the prices begin to fall more. I've been playing with the idea of the $130 recertified 7800GT.
I'll be getting Windows Vista Home Premium. What is the difference between the 32bit and the 64bit?
Keyboard, mouse, and monitor are needed in the build.
Here is what I have lined up currently.
