I telephoned overclockers sale department and enquired about the following deal:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-237-OK

System Specification
- Case: Antec 300 Case with Alien Green case fans.
- Power Supply: OCZ Stealth Stream 600W Power Supply

- Optical Drive: LG DVD+/-RW SATA Drive

I wanted the system without the G Card and the hard drive, as I bought these items separately this and last year. I was advised the system cannot be built and tested without the hard drive and G Card.

Therefore I would like to buy the components myself and build the system.

Is there a way of identifying which motherboard is being used?

Apologies in advance if I am posting something that should not be asked.

Thank you.
 
Is there any particular reason you want that motherboard? You don't have to strictly use the same parts as OCuk you now.

I was only looking at that motherboard because OC have used it to reach the 4gig overclock.

What other setup would you recommend?

i wanted 6gig ram, but i was advised either 4 or 8 on the i3.
 
4/8GB makes more sense on a dual channel motherboard such as the ones the i3/i5 use. 4GB is also still plenty for gaming/general use, 8GB can make things a bit trickier if you're overclocking.

The amount of RAM you have, ie 4GB or 8GB doesn't affect the overclock exactly.

The amount of physical sticks you have does, 2 sticks is best on a dual channel board (anything other than an i7)
