What board would you guys recommend for my system? Iv got a budget of upto £160 really

System:

8800GT 512mb
2x 500gb seagates
freezer 7 pro

One of the new P45's. The ASUS P5Q Deluxe is looking to be very good for high FSB clocking.

I'm loving mine.

P45 for sure. Asus are always a safe bet.

Should be targetting at least 4Ghz but depending on the E8400 you get and how much voltage it needs, you might get toward 4.5Ghz.
