I am looking for any advice if I am spending to much or too little for the types of applications I will be running. Am I over spending on the video card? I am going to eventually overclock the cpu to 3.6-3.8 ghz so I need to make sure I have the right cooling components and case for this. I have been reading this forum for quite some time now to get an idea how to put this system together, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
