A few questions about OCing and cooling.

[gtfan1235]

1. I plan on getting this system:
AMD Athlon X2 3800
XFX OC 7900GT
1GB (512MBx2) PNY DDR400 (from my current comp)
160GB SATA 3GB/s HDD
dvd burner
floppy drive
Aspire X-Plorer

Now the case comes with 2 80mm fans, do you think another 120mm will be enough cooling for the above system? And I think I will OC my CPU a little bit, but not much.

2. Now, I want to overclock the CPU just a little bit, to about 2.2GHz. I heard RAM is important in Overclocking. All I want is a tiny overclock to 2.2ghz, so should I be ok with the PNY ram? Or should I wait until I upgrade to 2GB and get higher quality RAM? BTW, I know you guys will say get an Opty 165, but I am getting a really good deal on this processor.

Another 120mm fan should be lots of airflow. I have a little more heat generating stuff in mine had no case temp issues with 4 80mms which would equal your airflow.

The X2 3800 is an excellent CPU so no worries. RAM is important - I have never tried PNY. I have OCZ RAM which has a good reputation.

Dont worrie about temps at all if your ocing to only 2.2. My stock temp idle=27*C and load=34*C. Oced to 2.6 my idle=35*C and load=44*C.
I think you wouldnt have to much of a temp issue with an oc to 2.2. But being carefull isnt a bad thing
