Overclocking this setup

[Obiwanshinobi900]

I have 2gb of gskill ddr2 ram, a palit 9600gt, 160gb hitachi sata drvie, LG sata dvd drive and I'm going to add http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128357
and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116064

I plan to it all in a micro atx lan case eventually.

Will I be able to get a small overclock out of a G31 and E1200?
I'm trying to save as much money as possible. I do have all the other parts laying around, I just need to purchase the mobo/processor.

I don't see a PSU.....

Anyway, that G31 mobo is capable of a small OC. But no matter how high you OC that Celeron, it will still be a bottleneck for that 9600GT card.

What exactly will you be using this PC for?
Why Intel? For just $13 more you can get a significantly faster setup:
AMD Athlon64 X2 5200+ CPU - $57
Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 AMD 740G mATX AMD Motherboard - $55

If you really want to stick with Intel, you'd be better off finding a used pentium dual core (E2140, E2160, E2180, E2200, etc) for around that same $50 price point.

Ah, I have a 550w corsair psu that I'm going to use for it. Its going to be for lan gaming, as my main rig is in a mountainmods case, not very mobile. I was wondering if the intel setup would overclock pretty well in a small case. But you're probably right I might as well just throw in the extra 13 bucks and get the amd setup.
Now all I have to do is wait for my ram RMA.

So it looks like the amd mobo went out of stock. What was wrong with the original mobo/processor I picked out? granted it slower at stock but couldn't I just oc it?

I did like the amd mobo/processor though. Any other am2 mobo suggestions?

Like I said earlier, no matter how high you OC that Celeron, it will still be a bottleneck for that 9600GT card. In addition, no matter how high you OC that Celeron, it still wouldn't come close to the X2 5200+ speeds. The X2 5200+ would be less of a bottleneck than the Celeron.

Well this seems to be a decent alternative to the Gigabyte AM2 mobo I recommended:

Yeah, everyone and everything seems to be pointing for that foxconn as an alternative to the gigabyte. Thank you much, I appreciate the help.

7750 Kuma is $60 on newegg.

Nice!

OP, I definitely recommend spending the extra cash for the X2 7750. It is one of the most bang for the buck CPUs out now.
