Thanks for the welcome!

Built a computer this summer, not so happy with my processor.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33 GHz 1333 Mhz 4 MB L2 Cache
Apevia X-Discovery Silver
Apevia Aqua 700 Watt PSU
XFX nForce 750i
EVGA GeForce GTX+ Superclocked
OCZ Platinum Revision 2 4GB DDR2 800 MHz
Thermaltake V1
Seagate Barracuda 500GB 32MB Cache
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-Bit

Ive got a new build mapped out for NEXT summer.

EVGA nForce 790i FTW
EVGA GeForce GTX 285
EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ Superclocked
Coolermaster HAF 922
Coolermaster 200mm Blue Case Fan x3
Coolermaster 120mm Blue Case Fan
Corsair Dominator 4GB DDR3
Corsair Dominator Fan
Ultra X4 750 Watt PSU
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB HDD
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9505

Its a very big improvement compared to the computer I have right now. If you noticed Im keeping my 9800 and using it as a Physx card along with keeping my CPU cooler and ill still be using my Seagate drive.

Because to overclock with my motherboard I need a jumper or something and I dont know where I would be able to get one. So I havent been able to get all that I can out of it.
