Which one for newbe? E6420 or E6600

I've never built a computer from scratch. And I've never overclocked. So which of these cpu's would be easier to overclock? The E6420 or E6600? I think the E6600 as its only an extra £25, but am i right in saying it's hard to overclock?

They're both simple to overclock.

Personally I'd spend the extra £25 on an e6600.

the e6600 is worth the extra £25, it has a higher multiplier to start off with which means you arent going to run out of FSB to play with when tweaking that overclock

Ye id also spend the extra for the E6600
