Alright, I'll soon be buying some new hardware. I want to overclock, but I'd like a rough guess on how well this will perform. I'm going to throw some variables in there too..

Motherboard: DFI LanParty UT nF3 250gb
Processor: AMD Athlon64 3000+ Newcastle
Video Card: PNY Verto GeForce FX 5900SE (prolly going to flash it to Ultra)
Memory: Currently 768mb running at 2100, latencies unknown - I'd also like to know how much better it would run with a gig of Corsair TwinX XMS 3200 @ 2-2-2-5
Power Supply: I'll buy as big of a power supply as I need if the current one isn't sufficient (I think its 350 or 400W)

I want to know an estimate of how good of an OC I could get with normal air cooling, the stock heatsink, and AS5, and I'd like to know how well I could get it with a moderate water cooling setup (600 GPH, Black Ice ExtremeII radiator w/ 2 120mm 103 CFM Sunon fans)
 
screw the nv3x core.. go for nv40 if you havent bought this equipment yet
memory:a verry large improvement.. you will get dual channel and 400 mhtz+
