I will mainly play the game Vanguard: Saga of Heros and I want to do some overclock with this computer. $ 1500 is the limit i can go (with tax and shipping.) Does this list looks good? anything I can change to improve or lower the price without losing a lot of performance? Please help me.


Additional, should I purchase the ZALMAN CNPS9500 LED 92mm 2 Ball Cooling Fan with Heatsink for better air cooling though?
