Hi all,

I was wondering whats the cheapest best [] set up i can get, i am only interested in cpu/mobo/ram and i have everything else. Also i dont mind overclocking, but nothing crazy =D

take it you have a pci-e graphics card ?

i'd go for the following, there are cheaper motherboards if you wanted to drop the price a bit further.

EVGA nForce 650i Ultra (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (122-CK-NF66-T1) £54.99 (£64.61)

Intel Core 2 Duo E2140 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.60GHz (800FSB) - Retail £39.99 (£46.99)

Corsair 1GB DDR2 XMS2-5400C4 TwinX (2x512MB) £27.99 (£32.89)

Buying an Aftermarket CPU Cooler might be an idea

A good budget cooler is the AC7 Pro
