what ya reckon?

AMD Athlon 64 3500
GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 rev 2.0
G.SKILL 1GB DDR2-800
XFX Geforce 8500GT
Seagate Barracuda 160GB
Pioneer DVR-112D

heres my overclock:

cpu: 2200mhz-27500 @ 1.52v - 19.c idle, 53.c load
fsb: 200-250
ram: 800-1000mhz @ 2.0v
graphics: 450MHz-642mhz core, 800MHz-976mhz mem - 55.c idle, 93 load

my only cooling is a stock amd cooler for the cpu.... and a oem case, and the psu fan... should i get a case fan to drop the temps a bit? even through its stable at full load...

so guys would this be a good system to play games like FEAR on max? need to know before i fork out some more cash on my favorite games... I usally watch my friends play these hardcore games... but not now!!! hahahahha I HOPE!

ok??... boring overclock then.... tell me what to do to get the cpu clock up without bluescreening wth a page_fault error, which i dont know what that means...?? more vcore? more fsb.... down the cpu multi and add lots of fsb?

for gaming... this may sound weird but go with a 8600 GTS i'm using that there's one biostar makes that's unlocked you can get it pretty damn close to 8800's speed (havent tried yet due to lack of cooling for it) but im going to soon. also if you're playing games 2gb ram may not hurt unless youre running xp

also with a stock case you may have to think hard about cooling like airflow, cutting out possible fan mounting places to add airflow etc
