new board choice

[marneus]

okay folkjs,

I am lookin to have a go at buiilding a intel system for a change

Was thinking of a Pentium Dual Core E2140 (and overclock it a bit naturally 😀 )
I will be getting a retail cooler but initially gonna run the default HSF...

2 Questions...
A good budget board;

MSI P965 NEO-F, £52
MSI P965 NEO-F V2, £58
MSI P35 NEO-F, £59
EVGA nForce-650i Ultra, Socket-775, £62
(any good or is there a better option ??)

Memory,
PC6400 or PC8500 ?
CL4-4-4-12, CL5-5-5-15 or does it matter ??
1.8v 1.9v 2.0v 2.4v ???

(i just want it to work)

GA-P35-DS3L or GA-P35-DS3R; PC6400. Pick a RAM model that overclocks well. Crucial Ballistix is good, for example.
