Hi everyone. I've been learning alot on this site for the last few months and have decided to give it a shot and build my first pc. I would like to try oc'ing and it will be used mostly for gaming. Is the psu sufficient? I've read that Asus boards work well with Corsair ram. Video cards, not sure which one. Basically would like to get the best bang for buck and dont plan on upgrading for a while (I'm still on a Celeron 500) I'm open to any suggestions and any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
