im looking to build a system that i can use for first time overclocking but mainly for gaming and music collection management, based on 2 words: intel and budget. being computer illiterate...i mainly need help as to which cpu, ram, and mobo to get. i've looked on newegg and the Intel Pentium D 915 Presler def. caught my eye with its price and specs. judging by the reviews other have left it seems like a good cpu for overclocking, any advice on this? as for the ram i think pc2 6400 and 2gb will be good but idk anything about latency and how that affects overclocking ability. for the mobo i have the slightest clue as to which chipset would b good for the budget..but not to cheap since i need 2 PCIe slots just in case. so far this is what i have, i no its not much but i have to start somewhere:
cpu: Intel Pentium D 915 Presler 2.8GHz
ram: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 5-5-5-15
mobo: i have no clue
thanks for helping this sad noob.
