I'm building two new computers next week! <i>[orgasm]</i>

I'm not so sure about the PSU but I figure it's free so I'll give it a try. Hopefully the onboard sound etc will be enough that I wont need to fill those PCI slots. As for Monitors/Speakers etc I have those lieing around. I will also be adding case fans and UV lights.
I would just like some opinions on these setups. Where I went horribly wrong, what you would do, what isn't going to work/why, what kind of overclock you think I can pull off, estimated 3dmark scores, just whatever comes to mind lemme hear it.
<i>Btw my current system will still be fully operational and will be given away as a gift/payment (I owe $$$).</i>
