No budget boards are ideal for OC'ing. The reason they are lower priced, is because they generally do not have the quality components for taking them beyond their specs. And it is really important that the VRMs have a heat sink on them when OC'ing. They will get really hot. This is the lowest cost board I can think of for OC'ing the AM3+ socket CPUs: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/msi-970-gaming-amd970plussb950-socket-942-4ddr3-2pci_ex16-2pci_ex1-2pci-6sata3-4usb3
