so im not sure if i should OC or not, with the $ difference from OC and not oc parts is nearly $400 so i dont want to go and waste $400 bucks if i really dont need it

the only differences is the motherboard, ram, and cpu cooler, i was looking at this psu: http://tinyurl.com/yanqgea it's owned by xion which i have never heard of but it looks nice has tons of features but you tell me
im going to be surfing the web, playing gta iv, gta sa-mp, team fortress 2, crysis, and others but not for no more then 5 hours a day and less then 20 a week possible, im a very heavy multitasker, over 10 windows open that include: google chrome, limewire, itunes, microsoft office, paint just LOTS!!! and im probably going to have some gaming editing software so i can mod my games :KICK ASS and those programs are very large, like 2+ gigs, also do i need 1 HDD or 2 500gb or should i just get one 1 tb? also i seen good reviews on this cpu cooler, not water cooled but it has nearly the same results as the H50: Zalman CNPS8700 LED CPU Cooler , it only as a 1 year warrenty and has no "lifetime" which means it could probably die when ever but it's 10 bucks cheaper for the same results...... thoughts?
also im open to any opinions you guys have, im always looking for new stuff to add to this build, btw it's my first build ever and im 14 :)
i've heard people say overclocking isn't needed tho :l
Overclocking is more of a do-it-because-you-can thing plus I'm a budget builder and like to get the most for the least.
If you want to go faster and you can why not I plan on ocing my build as soon as I get it up and running
I would choose to overclock, but if you do decide to overclock make sure you have some good cooling for your CPU and also have good case air flow
you can easily OC around for an extra 800MHz - 1GHz with the H50. just remember to add another fan intaking cold air into the radiator and using the stock one to exshust warm air.
i would get some a fan with more then 100CFM, take a look at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185054
great fan, cheap, lots of great reviews!
btw, its not that noisey and it moves massive amounts of air!
I'd go with overclocking if youre gonna buy the black edition, mostly because its unlocked and not overclocking that is a complete waste
well , a normal CPU overclock doesnt change anything ...
but an extreme one like a e5200 2.5 @ 4ghz make a difference .
well , overclock if you can but , dont burn your money only for Overclocking ... because in 1-3 year you PC gonna be an old power-less shit Anyway ...
