*** Will most likely overclock the CPU/Mobo/the graphics card if possible. I know the graphics card is somewhat sucky, but I got it 2 or so years ago, so it was near the top of the line at the time.

Eh, if I were you I would have went with a better processor - Processors and RAM are the two biggest factors in your computers power.

Nice, but it still lacks in the Bus speed and Cache departments, as well as software technologies.
