    yes your chip shoud overclock Ok, i would say 3GHz Stable (Although your RAM will be a major bottleneck) with the Heatsink listed below.

    Motherboard €47

    512MB PC2700 RAM €52

    Case €74

    PSU €69

    Heat Sink €29

    Thermal Compound €14

    These Parts are by no means Top of the line but they should meet your needs, how much are you prepared to spend?

    ya cant complain, it looks good, the only thing i would be slightly worried about is the PSU, what brand is it, very important part if yer planning on overclocking to have a good Stable PSU.
