K I'm on a fairly tight budget. Currently I'm getting:

C2D E6300
Nvidia 7900GS 256mb
Gigabyte DS3

I need some RAM to go with that but I'm fairly short on the ol' cash. Really need something at £80 but maybe able to go a lil bit over that.
 
What about this?

Gigabyte GA_965P_S3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £74.99
(£88.11)
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - Retail £105.99 (£124.54)
OcUK 1GB (2x512MB) PC2-6400 800MHz DDR2 Dual Channel Kit £63.99 (75.19)
Gainward BLISS GeForce 7900 GS "Golden Sample" SILENT 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail £98.99 (£116.31)
Sub Total : £343.96
Shipping cost assumes delivery to UK Mainland with:
City Link Parcel Next Day (Delivered Mon-Fri)
(This can be changed during checkout) Shipping : £8.25
Vat : £61.64
Total : £413.85

That will overclock to 2.8GHz almost guaranteed. If you can stretch the extra £20 I would definitely recommend the E6400 Retail as that will almost certainly clock to 3.2GHz with that RAM.
 
I should probably point out that I have swapped out the DS3 for the S3 which has the same BIOS and all overclocking potential, but doesn't have the solid capacitors.
