Good Intel Dual Core, Motherboard and Memory

[thermg]

Hi,

Im looking at building a PC for a mate and would like some input on the above. He is looking for a Dual Core CPU (Intel), which would be able to do in the region of 3.5GHz, paired with a decen overclocking board and memory, to save cost of the CPU if necessary. A budget of about £300-£450 for these three. This may be flexible outside of the range if necessary.

Thanks

Is he thinking of gaming by any chance? Because at present, the AMD route would be better for gaming.

He is mainly going to be using the system for graphics (Photoshop etc) and video editing, He wont be gaming on it as far as i know. cheers for the suggestions. will give them a look. any further suggestions welcome.

Cheers
