What overclock???

What would you say my machine should clock to???????.
Spec at bottom at stock 2.8g.
What is better ram overclock or CPU?????

depends on what you prefer. both are good though. id say that processor wont exactly bottleneck anything you do. spending that much on a processor and then overclocking it is NOT suggested! if you do, get extra cooling, you'll need it... to extend cpu life.

wh would he need more? he's got water cooling. isn't that good enough?
 
Cooling should be fine, and when you overclock your processor (by increasing the FSB, not the multiplier) you'll also overclock the RAM, unless you implement a lower memory divider, which shouldn't be necessary with that RAM. So i'd say increase the FSB and just overclock both.

Any CPU is easily choked, if thats what your talking about.

Ehh what? The FX line is fully unlocked and is therefore the obvious choice amongst the AMD overclockers with a bigger budget...

2.75 Ghz should be almost a given

I'd hope so, given the the stock frequency is 2.8Ghz!!!!

Which component is going to be the limiting factor. Generally, video cards are the bottleneck with high resoultion gaming, the CPU will be the bottleneck with lower resolution gaming, and, of course, non GPU related tasks such as video encoding.

Yes what does it mean bottleneck
 
it means your system is being held back by one piece of equipment (or multiple pieces) but your system looks well balanced. and his GPU shouldnt be the bottleneck since he has 2 GTX's. his system looks great watercooling will suit him fine, i think he can get it to 3.2 GHz without raising voltage. try to overclock the processor a little bit using the FSB like someone else said which will raise the speed of your RAM slightly.

You can run your box -10C and that wont matter if you're cranking too much voltage through the box.

Possibly but doubtful
