For this project he’s prepared with Intel Pentium d 3.0 GHz, 2 Gb DDR2 667 RAM and 450w PSU. Seem like it work well but how about the stability, is it has the save temperature?
If you have the same works to overclock GeForce 9600GT to 9800GT / 8800, make sure to monitor the temperatures carefully. You can use RivaTuner for the save overclocking and could be better if your ASUS supply their own utility for it. Increase the step of overclock settings gradually is the one important thing also. One more thing, you need to try running 3D Mark graphics tests if it plays graphics demanding games. Use it in about 10 loops and see if the computer is stable. Whenever the computer looks stable for a few times you can then increasing one level up.
