As this is my first post I would like to begin by saying Hello to everyone. I just purchased the makings of a new system. It consists of:
-E4300
-Gigabyte 965p-s3 (received rev. 1)
-A-DATA 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model ADQPE1A16K
- Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200KS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
-Gigabyte 7600gs 256mb
-Corsair 520HX power supply
-Sony DVD rw burner
Any bad choices/potential conflicts here? Think that memory will OC a bit so I can push the E4300 past 333x9? Will it at least be stable at 333x9? Assuming the proc and MB will get that far.
This is my first build and will be my first attempt at overclocking. I hope these component choices work out well for a modest OC on my first try. I am treating this as a learning experience which is why I didn't go all out on the components. Bang for the buck doesn't hurt either!
The components are already bought and in hand so I cannot make changes at this time. I am just hoping it all will work out. Glad to have this forum as a reference and place to get help. I'm starting the build tomorrow, wish me luck!
