As i say above i need some help deciding what i need to buy for cooling my VGA card, memory, and perhaps the CPU.

First the CPU, I don't think i realy think i need a new one the Intel one is working fine and i have no heat problems there even though it is oveclocked 5%

Now memory should I buy one of those heatspreader kits for it? its DDR400, the kits are inxepensive at 10 bucks for a copper set of 2, also i realy don't know if they are heating up to much.

Last is the my Graphics card, it seems to have some overheating problems when oveclocked even a little bit. And the oveclocking did wonders for PS giving me almost 10 fps boost. I am oging to get one but what kind should i get?

Now i only have about 50 dolars to spend right now but i plan on getting everything eventualy. What should i get first? And what kinds?

Any help will be greatly apreciated, thanks in advance

you can get a set of 4 ram sinks for your video card for about 5 bucks these days. they are really small and inexpensive. RAM cooling is inexpensive and your cpu should be fine.

Liquid cooling is really only necessary for overclocked comps...or if you run some SERIOUS games 24/7
