Does this spec look ok



Hi,

Im building a new PC next week, that i need to last me for a good 2
years, It will mostly be used for gaming, but also video encoding.
Running Vista/Linux x64.

The CPU will be (hopefully) overclocked to 3.2+Ghz, just want to make
sure i haven't made any mistakes in the spec with overclocking in
mind, i don't really understand how the ram relates to overclocking,
but hopefully it will be ok?

Also the PSU is Atx 2.2, is this ok with the Abit motherboard?
