can somebody recommend a good motherboard and ram combo for overclocking

looking for 2gb of ram

also what cpu cooler does everybody recommend

putting this lot into an nsk4000 antec case

What kind of budget are you looking at for the MB, ram and cooler?

well i'm off to clockers today to get the asus p5n32-e sli and some ocz pc6400 plat rev 2 thats on special this week. plus the rest of my kit as well. also i'm getting the tuniq tower 120 hsf

it all depends on your budget and what you will be needing it for.

budget of 200 for ram and mboard

will my antec 380w in the nsk4400 be suitable for overclocking?

forgot to ask would the stock cpu cooler be sufficient enough?

DS3 and Geil ULL should be perfect

If you'd prefer the 650i chipset then the asus P5NE-SLI

"Core 2 duo noob" - thought Intel had released a new model then.

leaning towards the asus now , that geil ram looks good though
