New build up and running strong!

I posted about a month ago saying i was close to buying a best bang for the buck pc. Heres what I ended up with:

E4300@2.7Ghz Idles at 37c/Load up to 50
DS3 Rev3.3
Patroit 2x1GB 800mhz
EvGA 8800GtS 640MB
WD 250GB Cavier, SATA 16mb cache
OCZ 700W PSU
Thermaltake Big Typhoon
Sceptre 20.1" widescreen
Logitech G5
Tsunami Dream Mid Tower

The only thing I might add later is a 150GB Raptor to reduce load times.

I currently play BF2 on Maxed out settings getting 60-99.9FPS,
BF2142 maxed out, little less FPS than BF2 but still crazy fast,
and STALKER maxed out, no lag
(dont know how to check fps in stalker)

Overall this PC is FAST, but I feel like it could be a little faster with the right mem timings and possibly upping the voltage. I will post that in the overclock forum so check there if interested in helping.

Very nice build actually. Im planning on building a similar rig except with a different cooler and the 320Mb 8800gts.

Also how far can you push that e4300, past 3.2GHz?

To be honest I havent tried anything higher than 333x9, I think memory was set at 4-4-4-12 +.2V. It idles at 35c running at 2.79Ghz, does that sound to high? Im now thinking I used to much thermal..
