I really hate to open a new topic for the things thats been talked to death.. but I am going to anyway :D , so I hope you'll help me on this..

CPU

P4 3.0C.. Im aiming to overclock to 3.4~3.6, would the stock HS/F be enough for the job? If not could you recommend me a decent HS/F..

Also, I was wondering if overclocks hurt system stabilty with HT on.. The only reason I am getting a P4 is to use HT with rendering videos, if I cant use HT with overclocks then I might as well not bother with getting better memory/hsf and stay at stock speeds


Mobo
IC7-G MAXII ADVANCE $148 on newegg.. I like the 6 sata ports, not the mention my current mobo is an Abit also.. Im open to any other suggestions.. I could probably go a little higher if theres a significant difference between a more expensive mobo other than extra features

PSU
Antec TruePower 480W.. I will be running 5-6 hard drives with 9800pro .. I hope this will hold me, trupower series seems to be recommended all the time

Memory 1GB dual channel
Ahh, yes.. I really have no idea what to get.. As I said I would like to O'C around 3.4~3.6 and I want a good performance from games... I need suggestions on this the most.. I am willing to spend some money on this.. aruond $200 or a little higher



That seems to be all.. Thanks alot in advance !
