I would like to overlock because it sounds like a fun challenge however i'm not sure wether it is possible or worth doing with my rig. I feel like my processor is the only thing holding me back, however i read that my particular processor has had a lot of overclocking success. My biggest concern is my powersupply.. i think it make be close to max capacity. Ill list out all my parts. If you all think its worth doing, then ill go and start taking temp readings and stress tests and stuff.

ABIT IP35 Pro LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W (with a Rosewill RCX-Z775-EX 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler)
Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W ATX12V v2.01
Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB 10000 RPM
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200
GeForce GTX 275 FTW Edition
G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1

my case has
1 x 120mm Black Front Fan, 1 x 120mm Black rear Fan
