I'm considering building a new system, but I want to keep costs down as much as possible (by eliminating things I don't need, not skimping on parts that are necessary).
I'm looking at the following MB / CPU combo:
Intel Core Duo 2 6300
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
It is my understanding that they're very good for overclocking.
Now, here's the hitch: I have to get a PCIE card but NEVER do any gaming (3D games give me motion sickness). If I buy a cheap PCIE card like a BIOSTAR V7102GL13 GeForce 7100GS, will I still be able to successfully overclock the CPU? Could I go even cheaper and just use an old PCI video card?
Will the Ultra V Series 500W PSU I have be okay for the project?
TIA
