    Get VX450, it will give some headroom for any future upgrades. And you wanna OC? If you have no idea what it is, then don't do it. If you're still curious, get the basics right first from the net and do.

    you got a quaddy, i'd say stay away from oc'ing it right now. maybe a year later, for now it'll suffice.

    You need to get your facts right?



    Ocing is not a copy paste job.It needs patience and some calculations.No two systems overclocks in the same way.
