Well I finished my build and got a little bit into the overclocking and I'm pretty happy where I ended up. Heres the stats:
CPU: AMD 5200+ 2.7ghz
MB: Asus M3A78-EM
RAM: Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800
PSU: Thermaltake 500W
GPU: MSI R4670
HD: Western Digital 250GB 7200rpm
Case: Old one I had sitting around
You can see that I simply upped the Bus speed to 210 to get from 2700mhz to 2835mhz. Anything more than 210 and it hangs up when I restart the computer and says "Overclock Unsuccessful". I overclocked the GPU to 839mhz and 1139mhz....no idea what that means but I get better results from 3dmark06. My ram is 6-6-6-18 and I know that that is kinda slow. I have no idea how to make this thing go faster but it is stable and works well. Total cost was about $350. What do you think?
