Never heard of Biostar, and the E2160 is quite a low power model, the Pentium 4 Core 2 Duo is around £50 and will easily OC to 200% original speed.

Umm well the processor you mentioned above can be overclocked to 3.4 ghz with only about a 1-2 degree C change. My friend did it and he said he liked it a lot. If you can spare the money i recommend the quad core 2.2 ghz, that can easily be overclocked to 3.5 with little temperature change aswell. But theres about a 150 dollar price difference between the two processors.

As for biostar motherboards, I don't really like them, go with either ASUS or GIGABYTE.

Well with my PC that I'm going to get soon I'm not going AMD this time because of the fact that I can over clock the quadcore Intel that I'm going to get to about 3.6 GHz no problem.
