Anandtech have done a review of the E6300/E6400 including overclocking.

The results may surprise you!

I know a supplier in the US so I can get either one of these, links not working and nor is anandtech by the looks of it, between the 2 theres a £30 difference, so cut to the chase

2.59ghz @ 1.4v (1.32 stock) for the 6300
2.88ghz @ 1.35v (1.30 stock) for the 6400

Yup, and the good bit is:

Our goal wasn't to reach the absolute highest overclocks using high end cooling, but rather the maximum stable overclocks easily attainable with a stock Intel heatsink/fan. Undoubtedly we could have reached higher frequencies with more elaborate cooling, but we were more interested in the bare minimum of what was attainable - and we weren't disappointed.

OK, so are we saying is that the E6300 and Gigabyte DS3 is about the best value for money cpu/mobo combination out there?

At the moment, yes. Overclock it to 2.6GHz and it will spank the FX62.
