I will not be OCing.

[noobzor]

I'm building a computer, as many on this forum already know, but I'm not sure OCing is for me.

The parts that do it well are expensive, and I'm not so sure I'll need the performance boost. 1G Ram, 7800GT, Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2Ghz, isn't this ENOUGH?

I will probably not be overclocking. AM I CRAZY?

yup, it's enough.
what motherboard are you getting?

 

[noobzor]

Not a good one for overclocking. MSI K8N Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce 4 ATX AMD Mobo, $81.50 on newegg.com.

a neo4?
*edit*
found it

that board actually is good for overclocking. but even if you're not overclocking it will still be good.

DFI handle OC's the best imo.. but if not overclocking, msi is great
