The motherboard is P35 and will allow you to upgrade to Penryn sometime in the future. RAM and CPU are both very overclockable. Have you got a HDD?

That is awesome thanks Alex UK! :D

Cant thank you enough!

Cant believe all that and a case fell under £300!

Yeah i do have a HDD, i have 2, a wee 80GB WD and a 300GB Mator... both SATA... would consider getting rid of them too tho... for any good cheap HDD :)

Love the motherbard...! Is the CPU a good wee one... should i not try to get one of the 1066fsb ones?

Thanks again mate!
 
No problem mate! :D

The CPU is very good and highly overclockable, you wont be disappointed. Have you got a decent CPU cooler? If your going to be heavily overclocking then it would definitely be wise to invest in something such as the Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro.
 
No buddy... the only cooler i have now is the ac64 on my x3800 939 :(

Great news about the cpu, thanks! :D

300 still seems fantastic... i need to see how much my current system would fetch before doing all this... :)

Thanks!
