Overclocking is as simple as logging on to AOL these days. Don't be afraid.

Not to sure bout ECS boards, but the gigabyte I've been mentioning has solid transistors which are a must for reliability and really make it great for overclocking.
Get Crucial Dominator DDR800 PC6400, 2GB (x2 1GB) costs about $200 but its worth it.

What do you want? On board sound? Dual Ethernet? Firewire?
Take a look at the Gigabyte Ronin has mentioned and the ASUS P5B Deluxe.
As for a CPU, if you really do not want to mess with overclocking or installing a serious Heatsink/fan, Go for the E6300's, but check and see if it has 4MB of cache. I know for Q2 of this year Intel is upgrading the cache on those chips for the same price.
But as I keep saying, if you overclock the E4300 it will run as if it were a $700 dollar processor, except you only spent $160 for it.

Dude, forget P4's. Core 2 Duo's are so cheap now it should be the only processor you are looking at, unless you want to wait for new stuff(which will be expensive).
