I know this question gets asked a lot, but I would appreciate any comments.
I want to build a PC to learn to overclock. I don't want to spend that much, so here is what I have picked out so far. I just want to make sure these components work together. My other concern is will the video card be able to put out a 1680 x 1050 signal, because that is what my monitor's native resolution is? 2nd question is will the PC work with only 2 sticks of RAM in it, because I can't afford more right now?
I already have a Q6600 CPU, Antec 900, and cpu cooler.
