Hello all,
this is my current spec:
Windows 7 32 bit
Intel Core 2 duo E8500
Mobo: GA-P35-DS3L
4x1GB Corsair 800mhz ddr2
HD7850 2GB
OCZ 500w psu
250gb Sata 7200 'C' drive
750gb Sata 7200 storage

I'm about to perform a few upgrades:
- install a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler so I can overclock the E8500
- Clean install Windows 7 64 bit onto a new Crucial V4 SSD (256gb) (It's Sata II to match my Mobo)
- install 4x2GB Crucial DDR2 1066mhz ram (which look to be low enough profile not to get in the way of the heatsink fan)

Should I do all this in one go? - Which order would be best? - Any tips?

Thanks

Get DDR3 1600MHz RAM. They're dirt cheap already.
It's better if you do it all in one go, but if you can't, it would make more sense to install the Windows 64-bit first, since there's no point in going over 4gb of RAM on a 32-bit OS.
