What mobo

[Marcvs]

Okay I have to build a very cheap new system and have decided on 3 of the components, just stuck on what mobo to get.

Other important components

1gb OCZ DDR2 800 ram (picked up for £50)

E4300 1.8Ghz Core 2 Allendale (seems better cos of lower fsb)

leadtek 7800GTX (got for ~£90)

I need to find a good micro ATX mobo, that supports the core 2 and will overclock fairly well so anything above about ~260fsb would be nice

Current choices are between (feel free to suggest others)

Conroe-945G-DVI

Asus P5l VM i394

Abit IP-95

Cheaper is better and I would like to know which is best for Ocing (feel free to suggest)

Shouldnt the asrock vsta be on there,it clocks easy and has agp and pci-e 16 ,ddr and ddr2 on the same board for about 30 quid.And supports dualcore and dual channel memory.

I heard asrock vista's were dodgy and is that a mATX board

That will be better answered by others on here,Im no PC wizz.Mines ok though,and my bro is building PC's for people with it in as its a good transient board when changing from agp to pci and from ddr to ddr2 etc for them as cant afford a complete buy of everything at once.

yah it has to be mATX as im passing it to my mum in a few months when I get my proper PC (8800s etc)

I would look for a board that uses a 965 chipset.

I have never had good luck with cheaper Asus boards (their high end ones have been fine)
