:) Welcome to the Forums :)

150 is a good FSB to aim for, but go as high as you can.

What temps have you got at the moment ?

With any overclock you should aim to keep temps under 40c, what cooling do you have currently ?
 
thanks for reply

You might want a better Heat Sink Fan combo, but its hard to recommend anything with out knowing your Current temps. :)

Thats a nice case you are getting :D
