Need some advice on these pc parts.

Well I'm a noobie and after hours of research, I think I finally have all the parts I need (to play css and hl2 on max). Here it goes:

-Power Supply
-Video Card
-Ram
-Processor
-Motherboard
-Case Cooler
-CPU Cooler

I'm about 99% sure these are all compatible. My question is, will I be able to run games like CSS on relatively high settings and still be able to use my comp for Flash MX/Photoshop cs2/etc? How do you overclock my processor and what would I need to keep it from overheating? Thanks guys. :D
 
The setup you listed should be adequate for your stated purposes. if it were me and I were upgrading I would be going with Intel's new Conroe and a 965 chipset.
 
Well I'm looking for a budget upgrade. Thanks for your advice. Going to get a 500w antec psu. Thanks. :)
 
Also, I would change the video card too. I would get a Radeon X800XT or something better. The 6800XT is the budget model of the 6800 series.

However, its all up to you!
