Hello.

I originaly built this system using a toms hardware guide as a reference. IIRC the parts are all picked with OC'ing in mind, but I never took the next step and actually did it.

It runs very well on stock settings, but am looking to get a bit of a performance increase now that the system is getting a little older.

Here are my system specs... any one got some specific info for my build, or maybe a good place for me to start?

Also, I know need to update a couple drivers, but what about the bios? I've never actually had to flash a bios before, but I thought it might be a good idea before attempting an OC.
