So i was looking on system requirements and i ran a test on STALKER and Age of Conan and it says;
Recommended: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400/AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+

I start to panic so i check other games and theres one that says recommended 2.4 GHZ and i have completly panic
due to the fact i am getting an E4400 2.0GHZ processor; i then before typing this thread up i was on the "PC games" board on gamespot
and theres a title saying "The Official Crysis Specs! LOL :P" and of course Minimum;2.4GHZ processor or Meduim/High 3.0GHZ.

So i have created this thread to find out how long will the E4400 last? also maybe stlabs arent 100%?
and is it easy to overclock but it can not be damaged? (say it will take me like 30-1hour to overclock trying different settings
or what ever you do but its 110% it cant overheart or brake?) if i can overclock is there maybe a site that says try these settings
dont try above these settings unless you have xxxx?

As you can see i have panic and i need to know because its driving me crazy!

Heres info on want i am oldering;
E4400
GA-P35-DS3R
G.SKILL 2GB 240pin DDR2 SDRAM 800 (PC26400)
CORSAIR 520HX
SAPPHIRE x1950xt
APEVIA X-CRUISER

I am planning to update next year anywhere between January-April. (CPU and GPU)

EDIT; I took a look on the thread in this board called "what processor do you have" one person says they ARE getting it it would be nice for anyone who has it to tell me what they think, if they have overclock it and what games theres play?

I'm curious, but why only games from the 2000's? 1980's and specially1990's games are better inspired, just my opinion.

Anyway try the lists you've been given already. Had you tried the Command & Conquer Series yet? Very good games... and with the Call of Duty series the first one is the best. We hope that the fourth one will be at least respectable.

Reason; I have probley played most of old games such games as old age of empires age of mythology entire series of Wizardry, entire series of might and magic and heros of might and magic, warcraft, icewind etc etc loads but you can suggest 1980-1990 games if you wish but i have too many games from that time 32+

Completed Oblivion on playstation 3, and i have dark messiah shame old computer couldnt run it but know it will be able to hehe and i am defently going to get a guild wars game probley nightfall then come christmas ill get the propchies and eye of the north.

Okay people the weekend is nearly here and this I am hoping to get my new Rig delivered meaning I need new games as well; so its up to you guys to recommend me LOADS of games you can think of I don't mind what genre but I am looking at 2000-07 games.

My current list so far is;

F.E.A.R, Overlord, Bioshock, Gothic 3, Scared gold edition, Lord of the rings battle to midearth 2, Fable and Age of empires III any more people want to recommend? hmm i may also have to try the Halo series out

So i am looking around for the best deals for an Corsair 520HX i stumpled upon pricegrabber.com and find the same product both at different prices and both have a different colour one is black the other is grayish i am guessing its a bad picture or something but i want to be sure it is before purchasing the cheaper one.
