CPU / MOBO / RAM

Hey guys,

I've been out of the hardware loop for a few years now, so I need some help. I'm finally going to buy some new hardware and I'm not really sure what to go for (whats new...whats coming out, should I wait?) as far as CPU/MOBO/RAM for a gaming PC that i'd like to overclock. If you guys have any pointers on what you are running or what is ideal i'd really appreciate it. At least it will get me searching in the right direction and I can research from there.
 
C2D e6400 + Asus P5B + 2gb of DDR2 - 800 seems to be a really good recipe for overclocking. A good aftermarket cooler will get you a bit further as well. 3ghz seems to be very common.

And welcome to Anandtech 🙂
