mobo recommendation please

[silent]

hi

seen as the dual vsta is driving me insane, i am going to buy a new mobo and ddr2 ram.

can you recommend me a good little package that about £160-170 tops with 2 gig od ram if poss.

if it's over, then thats ok. may do a little bit of o/cing but probably not.

i want it to go with my E6300 and x850xt pe pci-e card.

cheers!

You are going to struggle to get some overclockable 2bg ram and an overclockable motherboard for that money I think.

Gigabyte GA 965P-DS3, cheap (£76 on scan) motherboard thats thats apparently easily overclockable.

gigabyte s3 would be cheaper, its pretty much the same as the ds3 but doesnt have raid and doesnt have sold capacitors so is slightly less durable.

gigabye s3 + 2gigs corsair value PC5300 RAM come in at just under £200. (dont need high speed ram if not overclocking)
