Hows this look for a middle of the road C2D setup? Any recommendations around the same price bracket? (not a SINGLE PENNY more than £270 mind :p).

Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 PC2-6400C5 TwinX (2x2GB) £57.99
(£68.14) £57.99
Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 "LGA775 Allendale" 2.20GHz (800FSB) - Retail £66.99
(£78.71) £66.99
Abit IP35-E (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £58.99
(£69.31) £58.99
Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler (Socket 478/754/939/940/AM2/LGA775) £27.99
(£32.89) £27.99

Took the E4500 over others as more cache which should make a difference right? Or would one of the other E2xxx chips scale way higher with some moderate clocking?
IP35-E was a decent looking board on a budget. The rest is self explanatory i think :)
