K i will be OCing this quite a bit hopefully 2 about 3.2ghz and the gpu, any advice 2 change parts but i am on a strick budget so any part advice can u pick 1's around the price of the 1's i chose unless the extra money is really worth it.

 

CPU: Q6600 (GO stepping)
Mobo: P5Q or P45 Neo or P45 Neo3
Case: Antec 900
HD: Samsung Spinpoint F1 750Gb
Ram: Sum DDR2 PC2-6400 800Mhz CL4 ram, maybe sum OCZ REAPER X or Corsair XMS2 DHX, 4GB as 2x2GB
GPU: HD4780
CPU cooler: Xigmatek HDT S1283
PSU: Hiper HPU-4M630 630w or Corsair 650W TX
OS: Vista premium 64Bit

 

Im pretty sure them PSU's will be enough 2 power this even OC'd
Is CL4 ram faster than CL5 ram and wil it be better for OCing
I mainly need help on the mobo, ive chosen a P45 board with only 1 PCI x16 slot as i wont be using crossfire, but wil a P35 board be just as good and cheaper if so can u recommend 1 that is very good for OCing but around £80 or $150

 

Thx for any help, i will be buying all the parts in about 2 weeks

because you want to OC. The BIOS is not the same between the boards. the pro or the -E are better choices.

- and no to the reapers. They are having issues on the ASUS P5Qs. Check Corsairs site for compatibility and go that way.
