Re: Overclock Intel Core2duo E8200
your motherboard and cpu are plenty capable of getting to 3.0ghz without a doubt
your PSU is not ........... your ram is not ............ you need a cpu cooler (artic freezer 7 pro) it would cost you about $200.00 ........... you could sell off the replaced stuff for about $75.00 on ebay you'd still be spending $125.00 in the end ??????????

Re: Overclock Intel Core2duo E8200
keep an eye on mwave.com / click refurbished / click power supplies ....... often times they have decent models for $65.00 to $80.00 .............. never go lower than $65.00

Re: Overclock Intel Core2duo E8200
Ok, thanks a lot
I'll look into getting a new PSU, RAM and I was thinking of that cooler Is this RAM ok? http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/prod...MEO-D2-2048R9K The cooler was the one you said: http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/prod...px?code=HFA-F7 and for the PSU i shop at eclipse computers so if you could find a suitable one from there that'd be great. Heres a link: http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/subc...gh%20End&cat=3 Could I add that I would be looking into crossfire in the future seeing my motehrboard supports it, so it'd need to support that. Thanks in advance!

your ram choice is good and yes on the cpu cooler
