Planning on OCing to 3.6GHz / 1600MHz FSB (Hence the DDR2-800). Im also pulling my X-Fi Elite Pro from my current computer. I have a Dell 2407WFP 24" LCD monitor that I'm also using. Lastly, I have a copy of Vista Ultimate 64-bit which I'm planning on running. This computer will be mostly for playing a few of my favorite games, and the occasional casual video and photo editing. Please let me know what you think!
