what is the best combo to oc on air cooling?

i Want to use a 3200 winchester 90nm (cooling suggestions)

MSI k8n neo2 platinum(i want SLI but am having second thoughts about haveing to wait)

and for RAM, i am clueless, i think i should get RAM with TCCD and since i want to oc the proc to 2.6ghz i think good PC4000 will not hold me back at all...

and on the side.....a good case with great cooling options (120mm fans) if u know of one right off the top of ur head...
 
I would get the follwing

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 90nm
Thermalright XP-90
Panaflo 92mm H1B
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
OCZ EL Platinum Rev2 1GB (512MBx2) PC-3200

Someone else can comment on the case. How much ae you willinbg to spend on the case also? And you may want tyo get the 3000+ instead of the 3200+ because both overclock to releatively the same speed for much less.

Also waiting for SLI might be a good idea. I am not sure when MSI's mobo will be released but with 2 6800GT's it woul dbe a killer system.
 
thz for all the insight but for the RAM, i herd something about haveing to overclock it at the same rate as the fsb on the cpu, so i thought, without haveing to set up a divider, just get higher clocked RAM, there really isnt much diference in price that i saw, and i might also beable to keep the higher clocker RAM when i get a new mobo and cpu when i upgrade.....
 
Don't be fooled by the PC3200 label on the OCZ he mentioned. It uses the TCCD chips you asked about earlier, and will easily clock as high as you need it, just requires loser timings. You'll be better off with this than if you get PC4000 with some other sort of IC.

If you're on a budget you might want to look at Patriot (PDP Systems) XBL memory. It uses TCCD chips and the same Brainpower PCB as the OCZ sticks, but costs $50 less. That's what I'm going with. $20 for the OCZ name, maybe... $50? No way.
