I'm about to enter the world of overclocking and I thought I'd run my selections across some more experienced overclockers first. I haven't purchased any of the following items yet, so all suggestions are welcome.
Retail P3 Cu 600E FC-PGA
Asus CUBX mobo
128MB PC133 RAM (some say brand name matters, some don't ... your thoughts?)
some form of AGP TNT2 video card (brand name suggestions?)
Sound Blaster Live! Value
ATX Midtower Case (any suggestions in the $50 range?)
Already have a Maxtor 30GB 7200rpm
Already have Imation 8x20 CD-R & Adaptec AHA-2930C SCSI card
Already have D-Link PCI Ethernet card (just a cheapo one)
I'm hoping to run this at 133MHz FSB with just the retail CPU fan (am I just being lazy here?)
As for the video card, I do some minor 3D modeling, lots of Photoshop work, very little gaming (but it'd still be nice to play at a decent resolution/framerate if I ever do decide to play). I'd like to keep this at/under $75 though.
Anyone know where I can get a good deal on any of these parts (specifically the CUBX mobo and the CPU)? I'm trying to keep the cost in the $600 range.
