CPU
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - OEM
£135.07

OR retail @ £152.69


OR
Intel Core 2 DUO E6400 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.13GHz (1066FSB) - Retail (CP-127-IN)
£182.07




MOBO
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (MB-061-GI)
£111.57


RAM
G.Skill 2GB DDR2 LA PC2-5300 (2x1GB) CAS4 Dual Channel Kit (F2-5400PHU2-2GBLA) (MY-012-GS)
£117.44 < THis week only


TOTAL
£364.08 for OEM 6300

TOTAL
£411.08 for Retail 6400

If you get the OEM chip you could get maybe an Arctic Freezer 7 Heatsink


The Gigabyte DS3's FSB is supposed to be a very good overclocker with the 2MB cache chips like the 6300 & 6400, with some getting upto 480+ FSB.


So your 6300 chip could reach 7x480 = 3.36 Ghz
and your 6400 chip could reach 8x480 = 3.840 Ghz
