No problem. The last time i used amd was when i built my dads pc about 7 years ago (Athlon XP 2400) so things have obviously changed a lot.

One reason your pc will be feeling sluggish is that you have reduced the speed of your ram. As iv said i dont know how amd overclocks but really you want to keep the mhz of your ram as fast as it will go with as low timings as you can get.

Good luck and hopefully someone here can point you in the right direction.
