Overclocking often cause system instability. Suggest you put your new system through it’s paces for a while without overclocking.

Im not sure how much you’re spending, but I just bought a Vostro 410 from Dell – $900.
I did add a 1 TB hard drive – total cost $1100.How much are you spending and is it worth the extra cost?

My estimate at this time for this system is approx $1100.00 without the graphic card. I have an Nvidia card now (540). I looked at the Dell you mentioned and it doesn’t seem to have the same or comparable components.
