AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (3.0GHz) OR Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz

THE 450w psu thats comes with that case won't be enough. Get a 500W+ from OCZ/Seasonic/Antec/Hiper etc. And you should get 800MHz RAM if you're an OC'er. Also get a mobo with the P35 chipset.

Make sure the PSU has at least 30 Amps on the 12v+ line as well. My 460 Watt enermax has 33, and it powers my 8800GT with no issues.

Ahh ok,

I have fixed it up thanks everyone

 

[worshipme]

Yep, the amperage on the 12V rail is actually more important than the actual wattage. My PSU has 32A on dual 12V rails and it powers my rig just fine.

 

[Jelzahar]

Ok... how do i know what the amprage is?

 

[worshipme]

It should tell you in the specifications. There is also a label on the side of every PSU.

 

[Jelzahar]

Ahh ok,

How is it that you overclocked your Q6600 so much?

 

[worshipme]

Some people OC even further, up to 3.6, I haven't reached the limit yet. The G0 revisions are very good OC'ers. Do you have one?

 

[Jelzahar]

Nope i have no idea what a GO revision is?

Can you link me somewhere?

 

[worshipme]

It's basically just a new revision that improves power consumption, and little issues etc. Less power conumption means lower temps and higher OCs.
