 | Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Dual-Core Processor, 2.66 GHZ, 4M L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB, LGA775
Buy new: $199.00 / Used from: $150.00 Great Price/Performance ratio. 2.66 GHZ 1333 FSB and 4 MB L2 cant be wrong. Overclocking was a breeze, runs solid over 3.2GHZ. got it up to 3.7GHZ, but crashes pretty fast. Most core 2 duos can take around 1GHZ overclock but if not done properly it will shorten its life drastically.

 | Zalman CPU Fan With 70mm Fan LED (CNPS9500 LED-CU)
Buy new: $138.99 little big, but does the job well. looks great and the blue LEDs are a nice touch. keeps my cpu low-mid 30s C' idle and around 45C' with load overclocked.

 | Ultra X-Connect 600W Power Supply Unit PSU Black XVS600 V-SERIES ULT33136
never want to be short on power for overclocking. modular so use only the cables you need to increase airflow/cooling and gets rid of case clutter. and its only like $10 more than the 500W version...

 | ASUS P5B Motherboard
Nothing fancy here, but gets the job done and for a decent price. Supports 1333 FSB (O.C.), 1066 DDR2 (O.C.) and 45nm chips for later cpu upgrades. Doesn't get any better than ASUS. Above average overclocking tools as well. only 1 PCIe, but I don't run SLI/Crossfire.

 | Palit 8800GT SUPER 1GB NE 8800TXT302 DDR3 256BT 2-DVI TV HDCP PCI-E 2.0 Video Card
Don't mess with green frogs or the 8800GT. nVidia and palit FTW. Gives more than enough power to run any game right now, but you can overclock the hell out of it with its 1GB GDDR3 and redesigned GPU cooler.

 | Logitech 967688-0403 MX3200 Cordless Desktop Laser (Black)
Buy new: $71.99 / Used from: $24.46 More of a basic setup, but I'm not a fan of gaming keyboards/mice. Works great and has plenty of bells and whistles to keep me happy.
