Hi Mark

 

The 2 sticks of ram seem to add up right to 1.5 gb total .

 

GPU will depend a lot on price and Power supply availible in case.

 

I dont know much about ocing but id guess sempron isnt a good candidate as it is a low end processor.

 

Cheers Kev :cool:

Semprons can be overclocked, but for the gain you would get you would be better off buying a faster stock Athlon, and overclocking that.

 

As said GPU depends on the PSU and the connectors the PSU has. and the wattage of the PSU.

GPUs are also affected by the size of the screen you intend to use them on.
