at last the old-timer oc'er have share his old knowledge and his passion..

to TS, you can choose which best for your setup, either the pc is for working or just for fun gaming...

i think better you spend on SSD instead of expensive high timings RAM (which gives better result for overclocking ofor benchmarking~), if you see 80GB is too expensive, you can always go for the other smaller capacity, 30GB, 60GB SSD instead. i think it should be enough to store an OS, while for program and gaming you can put inside the primary HDD which has a larger capacity. Eventhough the smaller 30GB - 60GB is not as fast as the 80GB intel SSD, but still you can feel the difference when you're done correctly on the setting. If you have more budget to go to 80GB SSD, i personally recommend you to pickup the 30GB X2 or 60GB x 2 SSD which is set to RAID0, which seem a faster than a single 80GB SSD itself
