how about posting some info on the rest of your system e.g. what mobo etc.?
Also, just how much of an overclock do you want/expect?

what is a mobo

motherboard - what your CPU plugs into.

i think its a 775 it can take dule cores as in 3800 x2 (the old one) (not the am2)

if it's a 775 it won't take an AMD 3200+ ...
You may also find that your PSU may not be up to it.

oo well what is wrong with my psu??

[No.72]

well it is a 3200+ one and it can take x2 cores, but in a few days i will have good ram

And also the reason i am getting a 7600gt is because it doesent use that much power

i really think with our amount of computer knowledge shown you should not try it since you might cook the cpu/graphics/motherboard

Also it might be an idea to use the edit function rather than post lots of short posts in quick succession...

its prob best to google for a power calculator - a 300W PSU isnt much for todays PC's - the last thing u wanna do is get some new gear and find that the PSU cant take it

[No.72]

So it is a good idea if i updade the psu? eg. 580 watt like one of these? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal..._Supplies.html

A 580watt one should give you some good reliable power.. its probably more than you need but hey whats wrong with a little overkill?
