Hello every1 (my first post here :D)
okies here goes

this is my current configuration
Pentium (D) dual core 2.66 (533 fsb :( )
Intel 965 ryck mobo
1Gb x 2 Transcend Ddr2 ram (800 Mhz)
160 gb hdd sata
80 gb hdd
Sony Dvd-RW
xfx geforce 8800 gt alpha dog editon (512mb)
Vip 400W Psu

okies i know many of the things look mismatched (probably cause i bought them seperately,as per availability of cash :) )

wht i wanna know is,
1) how would you rate this system?

2) Wht all do you think i need to change?? and according to you what should i think about upgrading first?

3) Would it be possible to overclock this mobo to get faster fsb (seeing as how all core2duo are 1333mhz ) if yes, could some1 please explain how or point to a link that will assist me :)

Why report the post ?

@ Fuzz,
1] You havent mentioned model of your motherboard,without that it is impossible to answer your Overclocking related questions.
2] Your system looks decent
3] You need a better power supply, that 400W is not going to pull off the load from 8800GT and other stuff, instead of risking all your hardwre, get a better power supply.

@dark Lord

u cant oc with that board cuz it doesnt support oc.Intel original mobos dont support oc.
so ur best bet is to get a new chipset based mobo whihc supports oc and a new C2D or C2Q and then oc the hell out of the procy..:)
