I have been proposing builds and stuff for a long time and I have never actually stuck with one. Mainly that is because I thought that the tech was always being updated and couldn't bring myself to spend money on something that would be old in a week. Also, because I have never had a finalized budget. Now I do. It's less than I thought (1000 USD) so I have decided that I am going to try to OC this thing. Only a little at first, but then gradually more. With these crazy deals on Newegg, I decided now's the time. This is what I have come up with. Any suggestions are greatly welcomed. If something isn't compatible or doesn't OC well, please let me know. Also, could someone reccomend some decent aftermarket cooling? I wanna keep this thing cooooold. lol. Thanks!
