Questions on overclocking my CPU and Vid

[teamvaal]

Ive heard my mobo/cpu and vid card are very over clockable? Im technically solid but never overclocked before, and cant afford to blow a PC. Looking for advice, lots of info and questions to follow.

Basically I need to increase performance at the absolute lowest cost. I really only have about 150$ to play with.

My ps is only 300 watts. So I would probably have to replace it if over clocking will draw more (and from what ive read it will?).

So I was thinking either a new case with PS and fans. Then overclocking CPU and potentially the Vid card.

Other options include a dedicated sound card, or a new HD and running RAID (0 is supposedly faster... Would that be of benefit?).

Couple last questions if I understand correctly I can DL

"Clockgen: A real time adjuster of HTT, resulting in a new CPU speed, HTT and memory speed, but sadly, if you don't have a PCI/AGP lock, this program wont help you further." http://wiki.extremeoverclocking.com/wiki/A64_Guide

And as long as the changes I make are stable, then it will handle overclocking for me? And if I have this PCI lock, then I can do the vid card? Can I overclock the CPU and leave the RAM and Vid card alone?
