My main question is will i be able to oc my e4300 to 3ghz easily with this motherboard and ram? I also need help finding good deals on a psu and a nice case. Any help would be appreciated.

So you've gotten the cpu, gpu & ram? If not, you might wanna change that up.

Total less than 570 bucks after rebates & before tax & shipping. You need a dvd burner? One of these Xclio cases provide good active cooling:

Overclockability isn't guaranteed. It's luck of the draw. e4300 should pass 3ghz. It's an old chip, btw.
