Hey guys,

Just a quick question actually. Which system would you rather choose for overclocking capabilities? They are both offered at the same price.

1.dual core e5500 2.8ghz
2.ecs g41t-m7
3.2gb corsair ddr3 ram
4.sapphire hd5670 1gb
5.wd 500gb
6.normal chasing n psu
7.acer 18.5' led monitor
8. mouse + keyboard
9. 450w p.logic psu

Age of item:4months; graphic card n monitor 2week+

System 2:
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33Ghz
Winfast Nvidia Geforce GTS 450 1GB
Sonic Gear Ego 3nity
Samsung 2232BW 22" LCD Monitor
Coolermaster Elite 360 Casing
Gigabyte P35-DS3L Motherboard
2x2GB DDR2 Kingston Ram
2 HDD with a total of 120GB + 160GB
Coolermaster True Power 450W
Logitech Wireless Keyboard & Mouse combo

Second question, based on the specs and components, which would you choose?

Thx for to any/all feedback.

System 2 is the only choice if you plan on overclocking. The ECS board in System 1 isn't going to do anything for you.
