Overclocking an AMD3500 + Nvidia 6600 GT

[ak2323]

Hi all.

I'm building a new system and it's been a long time. I've never OC'd before but cash is a little short so...

Basic spec is:
Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200XL Platinum TwinX (2x512MB) CAS2 (MY-049-CS)
Asus A8V Deluxe (Socket 939) Wireless Edition Motherboard (MB-063-AS) 1
AMD Athlon 64 3500 (Socket 939) - Retail (CP-086-AM)
Leadtek 6600 GT 128MB

Any suggestions:
a) how far I can OC safely
b) best case for cooling? I've been looking at CoolMaster Centurions but they *look* a little restricted. Site space is not an issue.

Thanks
Alan

Addition: I'm using a QTEC 660W gold PSU in another box and it seems fine (XP-2800) with no-OC and the box is almost packed.. Nice and cheap and powerful but do you think it will cope with what I'm planning?

Aside from basic spec it's
2x 80GB SATA drive, RAID0 off the board
2x 200GB ATA storage drives
2x Opticals

I have the Cooler Master case that you're looking at and with the basic fans that come with the case, the case stays pretty cool. The complete front pannel is a open mesh with a included filter.
