Greetings,
I am new to PC tweaking and overclocking, so please bear with me.
I would like to know if there are any utilities that can be used to identify bottle necks in PC's that are layman-friendly, or is just a matter of knowing the speeds and the relationship between them? This is what I currently have:
Asus A8N32SLI-Deluxe
Athlon x2 3800+ (OC to 2200MHz)
2 x 1GB Corsair Value RAM (220 MHz, 3-3-3-8)
EVGA 7600GT (OC 626/838)
Antec TruPower 430W
Zalman coolers on CPU and GPU
I plan to add another PCI-E card in a few months (7600GT),
or perhaps it is wiser to get a single, more powerful card.
I am a gamer. I would like to get the best performance w/o having to sell a kidney on the blackmarket.
Please post your thoughts and opinions, thanks for your time.
