as the title suggest i need some help putting together a few parts as im not sure whats the best value for money.

was thinking along the lines of E2140, E2160 or E4300, 2GB Geil but im not sure on the mobo, also would need a decent cooler for the CPU.

any help will be much appreciated.

or

Both a bit over your budget, but should make a good system.

what a bout a E2160 as i have read several reviews where they are clocking higher then then E4300 and they are cheaper

Indeed, there is a thread concerning overclocking the cheaper C2D chips might be worth having a look in there.

thanks for the heads up mate, had a look about it, still it would seem that the E2160 are peforming as well as if not better then the E4300 and they are cheaper :eek:

Cache is smaller, Intel likes big cache!
