Hi all:
This is my first post here. Am from PC Mech and someone mentioned you guys.
So far, this is what my first build will be. I do want to o/c, I'm wondering what board (as tight-budget as possible) is the best one to buy. Would like to shoot for 2.4 or so. Can you suggest a better mobo? And cooling (I'm sick of the way my room gets sooo hot- poor air conditioning)- does water cooling tend to reduce ambient overheating?

Any other suggestions to change?

Intel Pentium 4 1.6AGHz OC'd to 2.X GHz+ with _____ cooling

Mushkin 512MB PC2100 DDR

GeForce4 Ti4400 (Gainward so far)

WD 40 GB ATA100 7200RPM*

Sony (Lite On) 32x10x40x

Pioneer 16x DVD

Floppy drive

Soundblaster Live!*

Samsung 955 19" monitor
