I play a lot of computer games and fiddle around with minor audio/video editing. I'm pretty new to OCing (what does "flashing" mean?), but I'm definitely open to it.
I want this rig to last, and not become obsolete real quick. I can't afford A64, so I settled for a pretty cheap Socket A setup.
I'm open to feedback. Thanks in advance for takin' the time to lemmie know whatcha think.
Here's what I'm lookin' at:
