You don't need to spend a ridiculous amount on a mobo for SB. A £130-140 board will overclock just as well as one twice the price.

Point taken. So will probably go with this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-449-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1906. the £100 saved can go towards a better cooling system.
What RAM would you recommend?
Since OC`ing cpu and gpu, gaming is better. But the idea of building my own rig is something i`m looking forward to doing. I have thought of upgrading my gpu, but the case is a bit limited in regards ventilation. Not much room for modding either. So, rather than waste money on short term fixes, i`m going for a complete new build. I have the rest of the year to get all my hardware and case sorted. Then come the New Year, i`ll have a couple of months to put it altogether, what better way to while away the winter months. So in the meantime, if you or anybodyelse has any tips or advice on a first build, i would love to hear from you. Would like to know the best places to get drive bays etc from. Thanks again.
