1st off, what ram do you have? (Link?) If you have value ram, it probably won't OC too high. |

Nampa, ID | I'd leave them stock... these look like value ram. No heat spreaders either.
You aren't going to gain a whole lot by overclocking your ram in an AMD based system. CPU Mhz is king when it comes to OC. |

| I think the biggest thing you could do to improve your system would be to get a videocard so your onboard video isn't stealing away from your existing ram. Next, I would get a nice fan to put on the rear of your case to help exhaust from the processor.
Going from 800mhz to 1066mhz is going to be negible at most. I think only benchmarks will shows the difference. real world application will show little, if any change. |

2 edits | what do u recommend for a video card my PSU can handle it corsair TX 750w pref ably with VGA and DVI and HDMI outputs. Also what size of fan should I use I need it to be quiet. When I get some more money I will be getting a new and better case.

Nampa, ID | You have a link to your case? Also, I just built a PC for my mom using the Radeon HD 5770 ($159 at newegg). Might be what you are looking for, but it's your call |

Nampa, ID | Link TO your case, not link in your case. Basically, do you have any indication what size of fan it takes for the rear? |

1 edit | here you go. »www.tigerdirect.com/applications···355-2007. My uncle has the PSU that came with the case. I want something I can plug directly into the psu and be quiet. |

Nampa, ID | You need an 80mm fan for the rear. Check out newegg for fans, then look for the DB rating. The lower = quiet. Keep an eye for decent CFM for air throughput. |
