I was recommended this motherboard from another post, what's the max fsb it can overclock to? I will need at least 333fsb so I can hit 3GHz on the cpu. Any other good mobo choices for under $99?

I made a thread asking if this card could outperform an x850xt and was told it most certainly can. I looked on ebay and they have x1900xt for $80. No dx10 but it's got 256 bit ram and the reviews show it's extremely fast. My friends recommend I get the x1900xt. My other alternatives are hd2600xt, hd3650, hd4550, how do those perform? They are priced around $50. One more thing, this hd4670 has VGA, DVI and HDMI!

This PSU should be plenty for powering my components. Would a lower wattage still be good?

This is the cheapest 45nm cpu. Anyone know how that one overclocks? My alternative is a 65nm for $70 or maybe I could buy a used core duo that's a proven overclocker. I would like over 3GHz, 3.5GHz would be nice and 4GHz would be a dream! Must be on air with 10% overvolt max so I don't fry cpu

That one really confuses me. Im assuming it's stock at 266fsb for use on a quad pumped 1066MHz(effective) motherboard. I hate the high 5-5-5-x latency, any chance I can reduce them to 3's or 4's? How well can this ram overclock(and still keep low latency) I would be happy to get 333fsb out of that ram without vmods. The previous ram I owned was stock 217fsb and I oced it to like 250fsb at 2.5-3-3-7

Most people, including me don't need such a huge HDD, but much smaller, slower drives were almost the same price. There is SSD but the good, fast ones are like $750 for 64gb, way out of my price range!

I am amazed how cheap dvd burners have become. I can't find any regular dvd drives, no point when burners are so cheap! I am skipping the 1.44mb 3.5" floppy drive, it's obsolete when you have usb jump drives with capacities of 8gb+

How much better is this than the included stock cooler that comes with the cpu? Any other good choices that aren't too loud and will allow good cpu overclocks?

This is my total before shipping. I already have a case, nothing fancy but I don't need to spend $100 on a flashy LED case with glass sides. I have a keyboard(duh lol) and mouse, whats the difference between the "fancy" keyboards and mice? As for monitor, im gonna try to get a 42" 1080p, otherwise im sticking with my 21" CRT. I may need various cables for the 1080p monitor(VGA, DVI, HDMI) as well as cables for my motherboard, HDD, DVD and who knows what else? I have been 2 years out of touch. My last system was an a64(single core) s939 mobo and 2x512mb ram using a radeon 9700pro. That computer stopped working a while ago and the fan on my 9700pro died. Ive been using this slow 1GHz backup computer so I need a faster one and want to learn all I can. Thanks for your time.
