Hey guys. Just recently, my motherboard went into a frenzy and sent a surge through it's auxilary molex connector (for extra power when you have SLI) and fried all my harddrives, dvd burner and the motherboard itself.

I've lost about 15 years of my life and work... the back ups where in multiple harddrives... all fried... pictures... papers... *sigh*

Anyhoo, I need to buy some new parts so I figured I'd start from scratch.
Currently I have the following to sell first:
Athlon64 X2 3800+ 939 (had it stable at 2.57 with no volt changes.)
2GB (2x1GB) DRR-I Samsung M368L2923DUN-CCC runs at 250mhz just fine. Haven't tried any faster. No volt changes. Just bought them at the end of last month.
XFX 7900GS
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro

I'm hoping to get something for them since they're in perfect working condition. Especially the DDR memory because it's good ddr1 and ddr1 is expensive...

But anyways, the most important part is:
What do you think of this (https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=4385629&WishListTitle=PC+to+replaced+RIP). Anyone ever had any of these parts? I'm definitively overclocking. Give me reviews! :-p

the processor will hold the rest back imho, with core 2 duo i would go for the lowest clocked model of the highest cache size you can afford and overclock like hell!

also how much are you looking for each serperately and together?

I've seen most of these chips run at around 3.0ghz. They seem to perform well. I'm in a tight budget but I'm open to suggestions.


These (http://xtreview.com/addcomment-id-2302-view-Pentium-e2160-review.html) guys got it to 3.6ghz.


EDIT: Forgot to add the prices:
To tell you the truth, I don't know what it's worth...
I paid $80 last month for the memory.
I gotta find out what they're worth first.
