I'd like to build a budget system with a Wolfdale core and do a little overclocking. I'm not very experienced with overclocking and want to do something that's simple and won't tax my system much (no increases in voltage). I was thinking about picking up an E5200 and matching it up with a reliable mobo. Maybe I'd just increase the bus to 1066. I'm partial to Asus and was thinking about getting the Asus P5QPL-AM LGA 775 or the Asus P5QPL-VM EPU LGA 775. I'm also open to other ideas. BTW, I'll be using 2 x 2 GB 1066 MHz RAM.
If anybody could toss out some recomendations for a CPU and mobo, I'd really appreciate it! Oh, and the heatsink... it sounds like some people have been able to o/c the Wolfdale with stock cooling. I'd prefer to stick with stock cooling (it's OK if that limits my o/c potential), but if you'd recommend something else that's quiet and cools better, I could go that route too.
