New hardware...

Ok, I just got some new hardware.

 

Motherboard:

ASUS P5N-E SLI

CPU:

Intel Core2Duo E6300

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115005

 

RAM:

OCZ 2gb 667mhz

Video Card:

BFG NVidia 7590GT OC

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814143071 (<---Pretty sure that is the right card...I bought it retail.)

 

Two questions. Is the RAM I got going to hold me back. I plan on overclocking eventually, but I have been out of the OC'ing loop for so long, I have no idea where to begin, espically on Intel hardware. 2nd (see picture), the ram I have is labeled as 4-4-4-12, but I get the results below from CPU-Z. Should I change this myself or leave it as is? It is setup in Dual Channel mode also.

Lastly, should I see a decent overclock from this? I have stock cooling for now because I didn't feel like spending the money to buy new cooling yet.

You should be able to overclock that setup without problems. You will have to use a hefty RAM divider, however. I'm not sure about the timings, but I would personally change them myself; they are rated at tighter latency after all.
