I've just touched on a small part of overclocking your system... you still have RAM and video card to do, if you choose. The basic principles still apply...watch your temps and check your stability.

On a system like yours with a 8800GTX and fast RAM, the CPU will generally be your limiting factor in games. I run a single 8800GTX powering my screen at 2560x1600....and I still play the latest games at max resolutions at max settings (Bioshock, Supreme Commander, SH4, Stalker, etc). I don't use any AA since its not really needed at that high of a resolution.

So I probly just wrote a small novel here, and hopefully it might help someone....I planned to write this anyways as a guide (for other places), so i guess I just wrote it a little sonner than I planned. Good luck with your overclocking and hopefully let us know how it goes!
