Computer Upgrades

[Magicism]

Hi, I am going to be upgrading my computer soon as it has recently stopped working and I might as well upgrade it since it was old and not really worth the repair bill.
I have been checking out products for a while and am trying to spend less then £300 on a motherboard, processor, aftermarket fan and ram. Now obviously I want the best combination, I already have a half decent graphics card which is PCI and I recently noticed the difference between my old IDE hard drive which I am going to have to get the information off some other way and buy a new SATA hard drive.
But I was hoping that someone here could help me straighten out my plans a little.

Here is what I have on my shopping list so far:

Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLi nForce 650 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
£69.99
£82.24 inc VAT

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC)
£51.99
£61.09 inc VAT

I think these two are my staple buys unless anyone finds ones that are better.
And I was thinking either

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 "LGA775 Allendale" 2.20GHz (800FSB) - Retail
£76.99
£90.46 inc VAT

Or

Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.33GHz (1333FSB) - Retail
£94.99
£111.61 inc VAT

And for these I was thinking of getting one of these

Zalman CNPS8000 CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/LGA775)
£24.99
£29.36 inc VAT

Which comes to either £263.15 or £284.30 depending on the processor you guys think is best to overclock with the equipment I just mentioned.

I am extremely grateful for all help, thanks in advance. =D

Why did you choose the motherboard you chose?

I'd take this over that any day, mostly because of the improved motherboard.

Becuase I am looking to overclock the processor as much as possible and I gather that the particular motherboard is very good for Overclocking with.. Unless I am wrong? Sorry, I am a bit inexperienced when it comes to this sort of thing.

personally i dont like fatality products, would choose something like the DS3R or something to that effect

Do you know if I will have the room in my MGE Viper gaming case for that CPU cooler?
