good OC mobo and cpu?

[Foz2001]

Looking to build a slightly budget system and have been out of the loop for about a year...

Wondering if you guys could give me a few mobo's, cpu's and ram to look into. I am usually an AMD guy but have heard good things about the new intel duo's so I have no preference at this point.

Price 300-450 for all 3 items... again this is going to be a budget build thus not going SLI. Also looking to have 2gb of ram. Any input would be great.

Thanks,

Foz

well an E6300 would be a good cpu to start with. best if you head over to the intel section, you will find the OC database which will give you an idea on what would be a good buy for ur money

E6300... 175$
P5B-e (get the -e version!!) for about 150.

325 for a guarenteed 3.0 on air

why the 'e' version? Also whats a cheaper alternative to that chip and mobo?
