I was just wondering, would I benefit from 'overclocking' my CPU (2.8Ghz) or GPU(9500gt 1gb), or both?
Is there a big risk in that and do you need to buy cooling devices and such...
I really just want a better rig by spending hardly anything.

I'd say go for a higher GPU.

I overclocked the GPU as much as i could without it screwing up, and im getting about ~10 fps extra.
Runs BC2 at medium settings at a constant 30fps (1600x900 res) on some maps on others mid twenties fps rate.


Gmod went from 40-70 fps to 60-100fps

Is there another build I can get?
With what Frank gave me plus a screen and shipping it already costs around 1300.
I could get it, but I'd have to wait a bit longer, and I'm very desperate for a new computer right now

my decisions are the result of consultations with peetah, cake face, and gamefreak over the course of several months of "building" computers for other people.

I decided to do one for myself; this is what I'll get, while at the same time being capable for decent future upgrading, if i need to.

Do you mind if I "steal" your build?

as long as we don't end up with the same case, not even close.

All I wanted was something that ran games as well as an xbox, i have nothing to brag about and nothing to keep secret.

Alright, so when I switched out the parts from Frank's choice to deacon's, I was able to knock down the price by around 300.
as of right now I'm spending a total of $1,034.06 (that's with the $100+ shipping).

other than having an expensive case, and a power supply overrated by about 200 W, looks good
