That one of those funky DDR2 and DDR3 boards?

Offhand I think this is cool for a 6870 but that's probably about as powerful as you'd want to go. It's good/helpful that you have the CPU OC to 3.8Ghz but you could also really benefit from a quad core these days.

Will need to switch over to a Sandy Bridge setup if you plan on crossfire. For now no bottleneck.

160GB HDD, that is going to be slow, lucky if you average 80MB/s and it will make the system feel slower with things like loading Windows and apps etc no modern system should have less than a 320/500GB HDD anything less and the HDD will be slow compared to modern standards, that said though as far as gaming goes, no bottleneck with an E7500@3.8GHZ and a HD 6870.

PROTIP: Find another PSU. Eurotech PSUs are a good choice for computers that stick to web browsing little more. 580W is peak power. I'd say the bets that could do is 450W. Expect a fiery death if you push it too hard.
And, just like the VSTA, that board isn't cut out for OC.
You should really start worrying about other aspects of the hardware instead of bottlenecks, because unless you have a really slow processor (below 2GHz), hard drive or less than 1GB of RAM, bottlenecks aren't going to happen.

You're welcome. Another good one is Open HW Monitor http://openhardwaremonitor.org/

What exactly are you having trouble with on OC'ing? I suggest waiting for that new psu before trying tho.

Going by your specs 3.8Ghz is a good feat on that G41 board you got. Congrats! Was thinking you were having issues wth the overclock itself (BSOD's, losing USB devices, no boot, etc.)

Box art doesn't mean squat.
Yes, it can OC, the options are in the BIOS, but it lacks the circuitry to achieve anything decent and stable. It can give a small GHz bump, but not something entirely noticeable or lasting (if the VRMs aren't cooled properly). Your RAM is good, no doubt, and helps the OC results, although I still think that motherboard is going to be the weak link there. I still deem it not worth the time. But it's your hardware anyway, not mine. Do whatever you can with it. This is just my opinion.

Yes, you're on the right track. Both brands have good PSUs and 650W is enough for that system.

Actually your temps are just fine. 70C; then I would start worrying. What's realtemp/HWmon saying for your cores?
