sry big wayne i havent a clue about new intel set ups, the system i use currently is an amd socket 939 its the first machine i built myself and unfortunately thats all i know hence im asking on this forum
 
How much wonga do you have to spend?

That aside I would go for these, as they make a great combo imo ;)

Mobo:

EVGA nForce 680 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

MB-000-EA_400.jpg


Memory:

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 TwinX

i'd go for these..

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

and Asus P5B Deluxe/WiFi ( great for overclocking)

Welcome to OcUK forums mate, just thought I'd point out that your sig size is against the rules so you may want to change it, "A signature may contain one or more images but they must fit within a box with maximum dimensions of 400 x 75 pixels (width x height) and with a maximum (combined) file size of 20k", you may want to have a read through the FAQ's here http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/faq.php?, hope you have a enjoyable stay :)
 
Or as a starter look at the OcUK bundles where they sell a 6600/board/mem as a "matched" package....to quote the marketing:
"These bundles are carefully selected from the Overclockers UK product range to offer a balance of great performance, compatibility and reliability."

The problem with asking this question is you will get a lot of different answers (especially as you don't state a budget).
