Hi, I am looking to overclock a C2D system

So far I have bought a E2160 CPU.

I am looking at getting a new mobo and Memory.
How does this seem to you all!

Mobo - Asus P5B Deluxe (965p) (Can get one for £65)
RAM - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Dual Channel Kit

Also whats the minimum Power supply I will need?

All looks good tbh.

Considering you have a 1900XT it's probably safer to go for a reputable 450-500W leaving ample room for your oc as well.

Oops sorry I worded the post a bit badly really.

Its for my brother in Law!!

He is not into gaming so will not have a fancy card

How much does he want to spend?

that case a cheap'n'cheerful FSP Bluestorm II 400W would probably do it just fine.
