Looking to upgrade my 3/4 year old 939 system.

Will need Mobo, Ram, CPU and Cooler.

Looking to overclock a core 2 duo.

Any recommendations? Not really wanting to spend too much. £150 to £200 if at all possible!
 
How about this?

Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3L Intel P43 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...P43 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2180 "LGA775 Core 2" 2.00GHz (800FSB) - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-171-IN
GeIL 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 800MHz Black Dragon DDR2 Dual Channel Kit - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-069-GL
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-017-AR

Sorry it's not a jpeg of the basket!

You could save a bit of cash by going for a 2gb RAM kit, but for longevity I'd keep the 4gb.
 
Would this be good for overclocking? OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 (OCZ2G8004GK)
Not a lot extra but how does it compare to the Geil?
 
Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2180 "LGA775 Core 2" 2.00GHz - £46.99
Asus P5Q-E Intel P45 (Socket 775) - £103.39
GeIL 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 800MHz Black Dragon DDR2 - £49.34
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775) - £17.61

Total inc.VAT+shipping: £227.02

That cpu cooler and mobo will sort all your overclocking needs. You should be able to easily get 3Ghz out of that cpu with that setup :)
