I feel that its got to be:

Intel Core 2 Duo E2160 Rs. 3,000 :cool:
ASUS Maximus Formula Rs. 16,000 ;)

Bundle this with a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme , a Scythe S-Flex SFF21F Fan and a pair of 1GB Corsair 8500C5D Dominators -> You're done!!:cool:

MSI P7N SLI + Q6600 would be the best performer.

I would prefer the 45nm in case of OCing over Q6600 also there are some added feature too :)

anyway, in case of pure OC

E2140 @ 2.2k
ABiT IP35-Pro @ 9k
Water Cooler + Some heavy duty RAM
