Please help me there.I want to order the parts today as sale for boards are ending on newegg tomorrow.

Should I go with E6300 or E6400
Gigabyte GA 965P DS3 or ASUS P5B deluxe??

I want to overclock,just to stable configuration.

Any heatsink or NB fan needed??

NB has cooling on it already which will be plenty. How much are you looking to spend?

If you're wanting to save money go with e6300 and DS3. If you don't mind to spend a little and want (in my opinion) a better setup get the e6400 and P5B Deluxe.

Thanks for quick answer.
I want to overclock it as I never did it before.Is there any tutrial specificaly to those boards
or would you be willing to tell me step by step how to do it.I would give you some money.

I'll try to calculate it now which setup would be better for money.

Should I go for DDR 800 or 667 is enough??

Newegg's sale price on the DS3 is only $3 cheaper than ZZF's everyday price. Their price on the P5B Deluxe is $17 higher than ZZF's, but ZZF is out of stock. They're slightly higher on both the E6300 and E6400, but nothing to really worry much about.

In other words, don't let their sale rush your purchase.

DDR2-800 is better for overclocking. and if you can help it, do not under any circumstances buy anything other than crucial memory. I haven't found any other memory to be 100% out of the box no hassle compatable.
