Mobo upgrade

[imported_dareino]

I currently have this pc below. Everything is stock (except PSU) and I wanted to upgrade the mobo so I can attempt to o/c it. The cpu has a GO Stepping.
Can anyone advise if the mobo link below would be a good choice? My case is a mATX so I am somewhat limited. Also if anyone knows if this basic Crucial memory would be a good match too. I really dont want to buy different memory cuz Ill be stuck with it.

It should work fine, provided your gateway backplate is removable and not fixed like some older dells. Don't see the crucial listed among the tested memory modules, but it should work ok. Most boards will run slower memory than listed. If you try overclocking, you may want to bump up the memory voltage to 2.0.

Thanks o1die..
Really? I have to find out if this pos will actually allow me to replace the mobo? I swear, I never will buy a pre-built again.
