Hey
I posted a few days ago about speccing up a new computer for my friend (here's the thread). He needs a whole new system, with a monitor, keyboard, speakers, windows, etc. Anyway, he's put up his budget to around £1,050 which will hopefully mean I can find a much better rig for him. I'm looking at something like this at the moment:
CP-135-IN Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - OEM (CP-135-IN) 1

Total £1,057.70
I'm guessing that he should be able to get a big overclock out of that? It looks like a decent spec to me but I'd just like to get some other opinions before it's ordered.
Thanks in advance
