Well I am planning on building a new computer and want to build one where I can overclock big time for gaming. I am looking at buying the ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP motherboard since it is one of th ebest for overclocking. I was wondering what intel duo core processor do you guys recommend for overclocking and gaming? Thanks for the help.

Right now? E6600 is probably the most recommended. E6700 if you want to spend the extra dough. Although I've read lately the newer 6600s depending on what batch you get might not OC so good which is why I went with the E6700. You might want to wait until mid July as Intel is going to be releasing new parts and more price cuts. But either of those two would make an excellent choice.
